Amid the fan frenzy and adulation, David is pressed to bring his A-game on set, facing criticism from the director for lacking emotion in his dialogue delivery.

Tovino portrays a brash and arrogant actor whose success has gone to his head, causing problems in his personal and professional life. The trailer suggests that David's childhood trauma will be explored further, as hinted in the film's first single, Omal Kanave.

The trailer is amped up with some well-written lines. One of which is delivered by Soubin Shahir, who plays David's manager. While he and David are drunk and reflecting on the actor's journey, he points out how the superstar is losing himself and says, "The moment you become a superstar, you lose it."
