In the teaser, Kamal Haasan is gradually introduced as a mysterious character who can be seen setting up a table for a gala. On the one hand, he prepares meals and on the other, we see him hiding ammunition under the table and in the shelves. Kamal Haasan’s guests can be seen wearing masks as they prepare to savor the meal – as soon as they start the party, Kamal Haasan changes to a violent avatar. The teaser ends dramatically on a suspended note with these words: “Once upon a time there was a ghost named Vikram.”
