Hyderabad, July 28 — Dedicating the film to the memory of its late director KK, the makers of upcoming Telugu period crime drama 'KJQ' (King, Jackie, Queen) have now released a hard hitting trailer of the film, much to the delight of fans and film buffs.

The trailer opens with a compelling voiceover that introduces the three central characters through symbolic comparisons to Dawood Ibrahim, Ajmal Kasab, and Mother Teresa.
