Nearly three minutes of trailer cut opens with a fervent background score to few back view shots of actor Arjun Das. Following which we witness a character castigating the actor, “You are coming to the thirteenth floor without carrying change for 2000 INR. Then why the heck are you working as a delivery boy. They are raving about digital India on television. Are you in India?” Then we have a scene where a character says, “Throughout India privatization is taking grip. If it continues the course, we have to write India and hang a private limited board below it.” The trailer has enjoyed a great reception among the audience and has set high expectations on the venture. Earlier talking to a leading media house in the state, Vasanthabalan said, “Aneethi will be an emotional movie. The story of the drama is centered around corporate layoffs, how that impacts people, especially youngsters, and how they go about life after losing their job. Actor Arjun Das plays an IT employee while actress Dushara Vijayan will be seen as a working middle class woman.”Â
