Dude trailer sees Pradeep fall hard for Mamitha

The trailer begins with Agan (Pradeep) being described as a ‘good-for-nothing’ by his father (Sarathkumar), and Kural (Mamitha) wanting to be his assistant, nonetheless. She soon turns around his life, even making him switch from cigarettes to chocolates. He falls for her hard, only for her to tell him that ‘the concept of love won’t work out between us.’ The trailer shows Agan heading on what looks like a downward spiral, with some intriguing scenes even featuring Neha Shetty in a cameo. The trailer ends with Kural asking Agan, “Devadas sir, why did you do all this?” only for him to give a wistful smile.
