The teaser for "Jongli" has now been unveiled. Directed by M Rahim, the film had previously released a pre-teaser, while the official teaser dropped yesterday evening. The 1-minute-11-second clip has left fans surprised by Siam Ahmed's intense and ferocious transformation.

Earlier, the pre-teaser drew comparisons to Sandeep Reddy Vanga's "Kabir Singh", while some noted shades of "Pushpa" in Siam's look. However, the latest teaser dismisses such speculation, with the actor declaring, "Pushpa? Kabir Singh? No, Jongli."

The teaser hints at a narrative centred on love and revenge, featuring a child character in a key role. However, the nature of Siam's connection with the child remains undisclosed.

While lead actress Shobnom Bubly was absent from the pre-teaser, the latest clip offers a glimpse of her.

Siam has reportedly undergone rigorous preparation to embody his character in "Jongli".

Siam himself shared his thoughts on the role, saying, "There are certain characters in an actor's life that make them willing to give their all. 'Jongli' is that character for me this year. I could have simply used hair and beard extensions, but instead, I refrained from cutting my hair and beard for almost seven months."

"I held onto the character for an entire year because I wanted to live it, to offer the audience something new. I have given my best effort—the rest is up to the viewers," the actor added. 

Following the teaser release, many have praised the film. Audiences are more familiar with Siam in romantic roles, but the teaser showcases him as a full-fledged action star, breaking away from his usual image. Fans have lauded his transformation and intense look.
