Mano Creations, Subramaniam Shiva, Deepshikha Chandran, Adithya Kathir, Suriya Prakash, Sreenisha Jayaseelan, Adithya R K, Pavithra Arvind, A Raja, Meesaya Murukku.” Here is the post made by the actor.
The nearly two minutes long trailer of Fourth Floor opens to an aerial shot of a residential apartment and zooms into the building capturing eerie activities in it. The scene cuts to actor Aari Arujunan jolting awake from sleep. Following which we have a character enquiring about him, “The company’s guesthouse is in the third floor. Why did you go and stay on the fourth floor?”
Then we have an old man telling Aari Arujunan, “There are a lot of stories revolving around the building. But you are casually mentioning that you are staying there.” With montages of paranormal events in visuals a voiceover goes, “Do not you understand anything that is happening?” In a scene an individual asks Aari Arujunan, “Will it be something like imagination, illusion, hallucination? Can we consult a doctor?” To which he responds in rage, “Are you saying I am mentally challenged?”
Then we have a doctor explaining things to Aari Arujunan, “This is called lucid dream. Sometimes what you experience in your dream can occur in your real life.” Then we witness the actor embarking on an investigative journey trying to figure out what is happening around him. Subsequently we see him saying, “Everything here is marked as accident and suicide. But if what I saw in my dream is true then all these are murders.”
Apart from Aari Arujunan and Deepshikha Chandran, the star cast of Fourth Floor also has actors Pavithra Arvind, Thalaivasal Vijay, Adithya Kathir, Suriya Prakash, Thaafiya Abu, Kannan, and Subramaniam Siva in various supporting characters.
