Nayyi Navelli trailer: Yami Gautam in a still from the film.

The trailer begins with Yami entering the house as a new bride. Her in-laws are welcoming but some claim that she might be a daayan. Yami plays Mohini, a new daughter-in-law in the Awasthi family. What begins as a story about a newly married woman settling into her new home gradually takes a different turn as questions arise about her character and the secrets surrounding her.

As per a release, Yami spoke about what attracted her to the role of Mohini and said the character allowed her to explore different emotions and genres. “What drew me to Mohini is that she is never quite what you expect. There’s a warmth and familiarity to her, but also a mystery that slowly reveals itself. Nayyi Navelli gave me the opportunity to explore a character that moves seamlessly between family, humour, emotion, fantasy and action, while still staying rooted at heart.”
