The new teaser opens with Arvind Swamy’s character attending a wedding. Suddenly, Karthi’s character comes up from behind, covering his eyes, and asks him to guess who he is. While Arvind Swamy struggles to identify him, Karthi introduces himself as his cousin, or as he calls him, ‘Athaan’. Arvind Swamy seems to be playing a character who has come from the city to his village, while Karthi portrays an enthusiastic village boy, whose innocence is beautifully depicted in the teaser. Throughout the teaser, Karthi follows his 'Athaan', helping him and happily accompanying him wherever he goes. While the makers have not revealed much of the plot, the teaser promises an intriguing watch, and with 96-fame C. Prem Kumar at the helm, we can expect many twists and emotional elements in the film. 

Earlier posters showcased Karthi’s character sporting a tattoo of cricketer Dhoni’s name on his arm, which fuelled speculation about whether his character is a die-hard fan of the legendary cricketer.
