The first official poster of the much-awaited biographical drama '' Sarabjit '' has been unveiled. The film’s director Omung Kumar and lead actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan along with BJP leaders Amit Shah and Nitin  Gadkari  launched the poster on Monday Feb 29,2016

The poster features a bespectacled Aishwarya in a de-glam avatar. Her expression is an amalgamation of sorrow, anxiety and stress.

Actors Richa Chadda, Darshan Kumar and the film’s producers Bhushan Kumar, Vashu Bhagnani and Sandeep Singh were also present at the launch event at AmitShah’s residence in New Delhi.
Sarabjit Singh was an Indian farmer in a Punjab village bordering Pakistan. In 1990, the farmer inadvertently crossed over to the neighbouring nation in an inebriated condition. He was convicted of spying and terrorism and imprisoned at Lahore Jail where he remained for 23 years before being killed by his inmates. His elder sister Dalbir Kaur who treated Sarabjit like her son, fought tooth and nail to get him released, but in vain. The movie depicts the determination and struggles of Dalbir to bring her brother back home.

Aishwarya plays the role of Dalbir Kaur while Randeep Hooda essays Sarabjit’s character. Richa plays Sarabjit’s wife Sukhpreet, while Darshan plays Pakistani lawyer Awais Sheik who fought to get justice for Sarabjit
