Teaser builds tension and curiosity

The teaser released earlier this year gave a glimpse into the film’s moody and layered atmosphere. Set in 1950s Madras, the period horror thriller explores the life of a filmmaker whose mysterious past begins to surface. It opens with a film crew preparing to shoot a horror sequence, where Samuthirakani’s character commands the first take. Soon after, it’s revealed that Dulquer’s character, Chandran, shares an unresolved past with him. What follows is a glimpse of rising tension, ego clashes, and haunting imagery that set the tone for a gripping cinematic experience.
