The two-minute, 16-second teaser opens with a scene from temple, where Suriya and Pooja Hegde's characters are seen sitting on the bank of a Varanasi ghat and the aarti playing in the background. Suriya is seen in a black kurta while Pooja looked elegant in a sari. She ties a band around Suriya's wrist, and he looks into her eyes, and says in Tamil, “I will control my temper. I will stop working with my father. Violence, rowdyism, hooliganism. I’ll leave it all behind from this moment. I’ll try to smile and be happy. The purpose of my life—in your words, my Dhammam—is love. Pure love. That’s it. I’m laying it all out, honestly and directly. Now, tell me—should we get married?”

Pooja kisses him on his forehead, smiles, and nods as she agress and holds his hands. In the midst of the scene, we also get glimpses of Suriya's criminal life.
