Two minutes teaser cut opens with a thumping background score to shots of arsenal. Followed by henchmen from two gangs at the brink of a gang war. The scene then cuts to a mobile phone which is referred to as Chiranjeevi’s phone. A voiceover explains the specialty of the device, “This phone can change period and time.” We have the introduction of actor Vishal who says, “History will hold a good man as very good, but as a bad person . . .” Then we are presented with a scene where actor S J Surya mouths, “Time travel through phone? This seems new.” Following which a character says to actor Vishal, “I have been your loyalist for more than 25 years. Please forgive me once.” To which he delivers a punch dialogue, “Am I Mark to forgive you? I am Antony.” From the teaser one could gauge that the film is an irrational comedy science fiction drama.
