The earlier trailers came out in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada, so these are the film's first in Malayalam. The trailer follows 18-year-old Vivek, played by Surya Raj Veerabathini, as a building sealed for 15 years is reopened and attention turns to Room No 418.
Kirtan Nadagouda, who makes his debut as director, has worked as an assistant and co-director to Neel. Kerala audiences know Neel best for Salaar: Part 1, Ceasefire, in which Prithviraj Sukumaran starred.
