After receiving applause for the first poster of “Jawaani Jaaneman” which saw Saif Ali Khan sleeping with two women by his side, makers of the upcoming movie have released a new one featuring the actor and Alaia Furniturewalla, who is about to make her Bollywood debut.

Producer Jackky Bhagnani shared the poster on his Twitter account, captioning the image as "A little quirk, a little sass, and too much funk! #JawaaniJaaneman trailer out on 9th January!"

In the new poster, Saif dons a red and white striped bathrobe, while Alaia lays down in a white top and hot shorts holding a fan in her hand.

While some called it a "much required relief from the chaotic atmosphere", others compared Saif to Marilyn Monroe, remembering her iconic pose over a Manhattan subway grate, as she tried to hold down her white dress blown upwards by the wind.

Others can’t wait for the film to hit the silver screens on 31 January.

Apart from his film career spanning over two decades, Saif's role in the Netflix series “Sacred Games” has been well received by critics.
