The producers released an official trailer which intersperses scenes from the initial teaser with fresh visuals and more of Sarmad Sehbai's poetic dialogue.

"I don't want to give away too much but Mah-e-Mir is a film with a lot of subtext. It's a film about ideas. And of course, about Mir Taqi Mir as well," shared the director Anjum Shehzad with Images.
