On Saturday, Sun Pictures, which is producing the film, took to its social media timelines to share a promo. It wrote,”Love hits harder this Valentine’s Day! Team #DC wishes you all a Happy Valentine’s Day!”
The video released was on similar lines to the title teaser of the film, which the makers released last year. The promo appears to lend credibility to rumours that this film will be a gangster drama.
It starts off with Parvathi approaching a mike to but is unable to speak or sing. We then see Chandra putting on make up in what appears to be a house of ill repute. There are scenes that show Devadas and Parvathi having a conversation and Devadas consoling Chandra. The promo also has some grim visuals Devadas is seen slitting the throat of an injured man and severing the head of another. The video ends with Devadas and Chandra getting away in a car.
