NEW DELHI: The much-awaited teaser trailer of the Todd Phillips-directed Joker hit the Internet on Wednesday and fans couldn't be more thankful. It wouldn't be wrong to say that the video is going crazy viral and it has occupied a spot on the list of trends within no time and we are not surprised at all.
