F.I.R. Plot
Abu Bakker Abdulla is a Muslim man, who is the most wanted man in India by the cops right now, and Gautham Menon plays the role of a cop who is on his hunt. So this film is a typical thief-cop action movie, with innumerable scenes of power-packed action sequences.
F.I.R. Poster
The first official poster of the film was shared by the makers of the film in Nov 2021, where we see Vishnu Vishal masked in the poster with India’s map in the background with news of terrorism all over.
The second poster was even more interesting with Vishnu Vishal tied up which signifies that he’s captivated with the exact same background of India’s map with terrorism news behind him.

F.I.R. Teaser and Trailer
The teaser shared by the filmmakers shows a clear picture of the background of the movie with Abu Bakkar Abdullah being hunted by the cops while we see Abdul’s character in a completely negative role who prays five times a day but by the end of the trailer says “ if someone prays five times a day, doesn’t mean he is a religious extremist”.
