The poster sees Shahid in an intense action avatar with?blood stains on the collar of his white and an injury mark on his nose. Shahid captioned the first look reveal in only a few words, saying: "Teaser dropping BLOODY soon." The action thriller film also stars Ronit Roy, Sanjay Kapoor, Diana Penty and Vivan Bhatena.

Ronit Roy also took to Twitter to share the first look poster of the film. "I was excited while I was shooting for this now even more excited for you guys to view it. Im so proud to have associated with some of the finest actors in our industry and one of the greatest directors I’ve worked with. Edgy as hell! Probably 1 of the finest in my career," he wrote.

Bloody Daddy is set to be the official adaptation of the 2011 French film Nuit Blanche, and marks the first collaboration between actor Shahid Kapoor and director Ali Abbas Zafar. Earlier, in an interview with Pinkvilla, the director had said that Bloody Daddy will be rehauled from the original French film and will get an OTT release. He said, "We have packed and presented it as a brand-new film. What I am most excited about is the fact that people will see Shahid in an out-and-out action genre for the first time. It’s a cool contemporary action film. It has a very beautiful story, but a commercial pot-boiler.”

Shahid was last seen in the thriller web series Farzi, helmed by Raj and DK. Farzi also featured Vijay Sethupathi, Raashii Khanna, Kay Kay Menon, Bhuvan Arora, Regina Cassandra, and Amol Palekar in pivotal roles.
