What's inside DC trailer
The two-minute-32-second trailer introduces Devadas (Kanagaraj), who is running from his past and the law and is trapped in chaos.
The plot intertwines two criminal cases. Investigators probe the murder of a police officer and separately track a gang looting discarded weapons. Devadas becomes trapped in a conflict involving criminals, extremists and the police.
Chandra, played by Gabbi, meets Devadas in a twist of fate. They form a relationship tested by betrayal, sacrifice and constant threat. They have enemies all around and Devadas and Chandra have to depend on one another. Parvathi, portrayed by Sanjana Krishnamoorthy, brings temporary calm to his turbulent life.
The trailer asks, "When a crime is committed, the police step in to solve it. But when the police themselves commit a crime, who'd step in to question it?"
