The trailer for Kaun Pravin Tambe? begins with a cameo by former cricketer Rahul Dravid, who is seen speaking about Pravin Tambe at an event. Talpade is then introduced as Pravin Tambe, who rides on a local train in Mumbai and gets a lecture from his mother about how his elder brother is an engineer who can take care of the home. However, Talpade's Pravin Tambe solely dreams of cricket and states unequivocally that he would only work for a firm that participates in cricket championships.
The trailer also depicts how his married life suffers as he struggles to play cricket while still looking for work. As he begins to garner some notice, cricket experts begin to doubt his age. Ashish Vidyarthi, Parambrata Chaterjee, and Anjali Patil will also play pivotal roles in the film.
