Through Vishnu Vishal’s voice-over, we learn that the killer’s modus operandi includes publicly announcing the victim’s name within an hour of the murder. “You could call it one hour of fame,” remarks a bewildered Vishnu, lost in the complexity of a killer who always stays two steps ahead. The teaser promises a gripping battle of wits between the hero and a psychotic villain with scores to settle.
