Trailer of Basil Joseph’s Nunakuzhi

In the trailer for the film, Basil Joseph plays Eby Zacharia Poozhikunnel, MD of Poozhikunnel Group of Companies. The remaining main characters are three police officers who are investigating a murder and are searching for a dead body, a broken couple played by Aju Varghese and Grace Antony, and a group of aspiring filmmakers. When they unexpectedly cross paths, things take a hysterical and chaotic turn. The trailer suggests that they must tell a series of lies in order to thrive. It also suggests that the movie is primarily focused on a day's events.
