There are a lot of debutantes we are getting to see make their launch in Bollywood this year. We have already got our glimpses of Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter (who had already made his debut with Beyond The Clouds) in the teaser of Dhadak. Some time back, Salman Khan revealed the teaser of Loveratri that had two more newcomers in Aayush Sharma and Warina Hussain. Now director Anil Sharma, know for making Gadar and Veer, has revealed the motion poster of his upcoming movie, Genius, that launches his son Utkarsh Sharma opposite newbie Ishita Chauhan.

We have already seen the posters featuring the prodigal son with a teaser also revealed that focuses on Utkarsh. This time he has to share space with the pretty Ishita. While one portion of the poster focuses on the romance between Utkarsh and Ishita's characters, the below part shows Utkarsh in action mode.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui is the main antagonist in the movie. Ayesha Jhulka and Mithun Chakraborty also have important roles in the movie. Earlier in an interview with PTI, Anil said, “I was scripting only for him. Utkarsh as a person is very sincere at everything and has a lot of potential. I thought he can deliver. Utkarsh has all the qualities of a good actor. It was he who told us that how passionately he wants to pursue films. When he was in the US and studying film-making I worked on the script. Utkarsh thought it’s too early for him but then I said, ‘We have to do it right now’.”

The first proper teaser of Genius will arrive on June 20, while the movie is scheduled to release on August 24.
