On Thursday, the makers dropped a one-minute-plus teaser showing how spine-chilling the film would be.

The teaser
The teaser begins with a voice-over by Madhavan, describing how he manages to lure unsuspecting humans. He says, “They say the world is deaf. And yet, they follow every word of mine. I am the darkness, and temptation, from sinister prayers to forbidden spells, I rule the nine circles of hell.”
He adds, “I am the poison and cure both. I am a silent witness to everything endured. I am the night, twilight, I am the universe. I create, sustain, destroy, so beware. They say that I spare no one. There’s a game…do you want to play? It has only one rule, no matter what I say, you must not be tempted.”
The teaser also shows voodoo dolls and other paraphernalia, hinting that the film will deal with black magic. Madhavan’s sinister smile at the end of the teaser leaves Ajay and Jyotika scared to face him.

Jyotika wrote, “Khel bhi uska, aur niyam bhi uske. Kuch aisa hai Shaitaan ka behkaava. (He makes the game and sets the rules, that’s how he tempts you.” And Madhavan’s read, “Chahe jo bhi ho jaye, uske behkaave mein mat aana. (No matter what happens, don’t be tempted by him)”
