One-minute odd trailer cut opens to actor M S Basker saying, “You take cars that come for repair and roam around. Do you think you are ‘Aborva Sahodarargal Raja.’” Following which we see a character threatening someone, “Or else I will kill you.” The scene cuts to a character saying, “When the figures are hot there is a kick man.” Then we have a shot where actress Sahana enunciates, “You confused me and you are telling me that I am confused.” We are then presented with a scene where actress Neha Saxena says, “You people are obsessed with money.” We have a scene where comedian Muthu Kalai says, “That’s the problem, you should not drive such beautiful cars.” There is a shot of actor Kaloori Vinoth complaining, “Whatever I do, it’s not starting.” Then we have a scene of actor Motta Rajendran mouthing, “That girl is lucky.” A character retorts, “I am the lucky one. She loves me more than her life.” In the next shot, we have a character intimidating M S Basker, “I am going to construct a building here. Better vacate and run from here.” Then we have a comedy act where actor Motta Rajendran says, “Tell me you do not know.” Actor Kaloori Vinoth responds, “From morning I am fiddling with it!” We have a scene of an actress articulating, “From now on I do not want any relationship with this person.” In the following shot we witness a character saying, “You are unable to pay the rent during lockdown but how do you have money to drink alcohol?” Then we see a character telling, “So sad do not vacate their mechanic shed. Let them run it.” The trailer ends with an old man asking, “Have you come here to commit suicide?” The trailer is yet to get the attention of the audience.
