He had revealed through a video that the characters would be introduced through character posters and that the most anticipated one is Vikranth Rona’s. The poster, with its unique eerie ambiance, has piqued the audience’s curiosity.

Anup and Sudeep had previously shared titbits of raw footage from the movie and had kept their fans on their toes. The raw footage had begun with a quote, “This again ain’t a teaser, this is just me taking you into ‘the world of Phantom’”. The team had continued shooting through the lockdown following precautionary measures such as fewer people on the set. Further, a doctor, three nurses and an ambulance were present during the shoot.
