The 1-minute-long teaser appears to hint at a Bonny and Clyde-style story. It shows various shots of Lokesh and Wamiqa walking through a walkway and later in a room together. With the camera cuts to reveal Lokesh, he is seen covered in blood, smoking a cigarette and rolling his sleeves as he walks. Wamiqa also puts a flower in her hair and seems determined as she walks towards him. It ends with them in a room together, looking at each other in anticipation of whatever happens next. In the video, Lokesh is introduced as Devadas, and Wamiqa is introduced as Chandra.
