Nearly two and a half minutes long trailer cut opens in a spooky bungalow to the voiceover of a ghost, “Welcome to the latest family. You are about to play games with our family.” A character says, “It is not easy to win this game, it seems Mathi.” To which actor Santhanam retorts, “A coward has to die on a daily basis. A daring guy dies only once. If that day is today, let it be, come let’s face it.” The character replies, “If you want, you go. Please drop me off.” Following which we have a ghost explaining the rules of the game, “Our game is very simple. You have to go through the entry door and come out of the exit door.” We have a charged-up Motta Rajendran saying, “You thought we would be sacred? I am coming rightway.” The scene cuts to a ghost asking Santhanam, “Are you ready for the game?” Then we learn about massive wealth hidden inside the palace.
