The teaser gave us a glimpse of a mother’s search for her missing child. In the trailer, we see her coming face-to-face with a mask-wearing monster who seems to have developed a taste for blood and gore. The trailer, on the other hand, shows us that it is clear that it is going to be a Keerthy Suresh show. Eashvar Karthic’s choice of colour palette and costumes also adds to the terrifying notion of a toddler being held captive by a homicidal clown. Read more here.
