The teaser opens with a dark shot of an alleyway with Nagarjuna standing with his back to the camera, facing some goons. He pulls out two swords--one in each hand--and attacks his multiple opponents. In a choreographed fight, he slays them all one by one, in a rather gory fashion. The camera then pans to give a look at Nagarjuna’s face, who smirks at the camera. The entire sequence had no lines.
Sharing the teaser on social media, the film’s makers wrote, "Hold on to your breath! Presenting the Vicious #KILLINGMACHINE #TheGHOST arrives with breathtaking action in theatres from October 5.” The announcement also laid to rest another rumour. It had been claimed in some reports that the film was going straight to OTT. But at the teaser launch, Nagarjuna clarified that The Ghost will release in theatres first.
