The quirky sneak peek video begins with a team meeting via video call to discuss the making of futuristic guns in the film. The video, which is showcased in a humorous manner, shows production designer Nithin Zihani saying, “The gun should not look like a gun at all.” The video then shifts to another team member, who expresses doubts over the functionality of the weapons. He asks, “Will it fire?”

One of the guns has sword-like features, while another is a machinery-like gun. From the look of it, the props used in the film are similar to those in Star Wars, promising a futuristic action flick.
