Retro trailer

The almost three-minutes long trailer shows Suriya's character going through a range of emotions, as he pledges his lady love (played by Pooja Hegde) that he will let go off his rowdy lifestyle and not resort to violence as an answer. But it is easier said than done for him, as he keeps on getting in the way of things and beating up the goons.

We see him punch through a wall in frustration, pummel and murder men, and smoke a cigarette and drink alcohol together. We also see glimpses of other menacing characters – played by Joju George, Jayaram, Prakash Raj, and Nasser among others.

Reacting to the trailer, a fan commented, “Karthik Subbaraj - Suriya combo 🥵🔥🔥” A second fan commented, “It's look like a special film for Suriya fans ❤❤ love you Suriya.” A comment read, “Suriya is back with a Bang.”
