The teaser has all classic horror tropes; looks interesting
The teaser shows all classic elements of horror movies: a creepy-looking doll, lots of blood and bones, a scary-looking psychic lady, and in the center of it all, we have Prithviraj playing a top cop trying to solve a mystery of death. The audio track is fear-inducing topped with a voiceover saying, "Every spirit that departs from the body leaves behind some secrets."

Prithviraj shared the teaser of the Malayalam eerie-thriller on social media with the caption, "Stuck in the midst of faith and logic... the quest to find the truth begins from today!"

Another OTT release
Joseph also releasing Fahadh Faasil's 'Malik' on Amazon Prime Video
Revered producer Joseph will also be releasing much-anticipated Fahadh Faasil-starrer Malik on the streaming giant. Talking about his decision, he said, "These films will only recover their production costs only if 100% occupancy is allowed. Since there is no clarity on when the theatres will reopen and given the existing economic hurdles, I'm trying for an OTT release for these films."
