The teaser opens with Piyush Mishra in a striking, mysterious avatar, playing a character who understands "dasha" and "disha" far beyond the ordinary world. After a chance meeting with him, Pulkit Samrat and Varun Sharma are suddenly turned into present-day versions of Rahu and Ketu.

The teaser blends folklore with modern humor, offering a playful take on fate and celestial forces. Shalini Pandey also appears briefly, adding curiosity about her role and the twists she may bring to the storyline.
