The two minute odd trailer of Kara opens to a news broadcast, “Greetings. Our top headlines. As the gulf war enters its sixth month of escalation, hundreds of oil wells in Kuwait were set on fire today by Iraq. Experts fear this move will trigger a massive impact on the global economy.”
A voiceover narrates, “On a Monday night he broke into a bank, went inside, and robbed it. But he did not stop there. The very next day, he robbed another bank in broad daylight. That means he must be in urgent need.” The shot cuts to a woman blubbering, “Why are you staying silent? Why won’t you tell the truth?”
In a scene we see Dhanush’s mom welcoming him, “Where were you all these years, son? What have you been doing?” Subsequently, actor Karunas tells K S Ravikumar, “I have my doubts about his return.” An irked K S Ravikumar replies him, “Hey, why would you say that? He has returned as a reformed man.”
In a shot we witness actress Mamitha Baiju questioning Dhanush, “Where have you been?” He responds, “I was out on some work.” She asks him, “What kind of work? Stealing?” We then see him being beaten up in police custody. The scene cuts to him telling someone in a call, “I need the money. You won’t understand the position I am in.”
Then, an emotional Dhanush fulminates, “Breaking through roofs, dropping in through holes: that is all I know! So, what am I supposed to do now?” The teaser ends with the voiceover of actor Suraj Venjaramoodu, “He is definitely getting caught today, sir. Either alive or as a corpse.”
The casting team of Kara also comprises actors Prithvi Pandiarajan, Suraj Venjaramoodu, S Rajapandi, Nithin Sathya, M S Baskar, Sreeja Ravi, Kushmitha, K S Ravikumar, and Karunas. Music director G V Prakash Kumar has handled musical gears for the entertainer.
