Ajay is back in his role as Amay Patnaik, an honest and determined income tax officer who isn’t afraid to take on the rich and powerful.

One of the biggest surprises in the trailer is Riteish Deshmukh’s character. He plays Dadabhai, a politician who looks charming on the outside but is cruel and ruthless on the inside. In the trailer, Riteish’s performance stands out. He looks convincing as the man who will do anything to keep his secrets safe. His character is the perfect match to Ajay’s upright officer. The trailer builds up the tension between these two, making audiences eager to see who will win this war of wits.
The trailer promises viewers a gripping showdown, with Ajay seen creating a strategic ‘chakravyuh’, drawing clear inspiration from the Mahabharat. At one point, he declares, “Main poori Mahabharat la raha hun (I am getting the whole Mahabharat),” hinting at a deep and layered plan to outsmart Riteish’s character. The narrative promises more than just action, as Vaani Kapoor’s presence as Ajay’s wife introduces a warm and emotional contrast to the tension-filled storyline. Saurabh Shukla’s brief yet intense appearance adds further intrigue, heightening the suspense. With power-packed performances and a mythological twist, the trailer sets the stage for an intense thriller packed with emotion, strategy, and drama.
