The trailer of the film which was unveiled on December 24 last year, hints at an intense police procedural drama. “Lies. Truth. Justice. Aravind Karunakaran is here to blaze his way to your heart! Releasing in theaters near you on January 14! This is a film I have a deep love for. And this trailer is an honest taster of the film. I hope you find that same love for it as I did when I first heard it. Which grew with each day I spent on it (sic),” Dulquer wrote while sharing the trailer with followers on social media.
Dulquer was recently seen in Kurup, which is inspired by the life of Kerala’s most wanted criminal Sukumara Kurup. He is also teaming up with his father Mammootty for the first time by bankrolling his upcoming film Puzhu, which also stars Parvathy Thiruvothu in the lead.
