The sneak peek delves into the ancient Vaimanika Shastra, hinting at the advanced knowledge and mystical secrets of early civilizations. It poses a thought-provoking question: Are the sentient machines spoken of in ancient texts now becoming a reality? This sets the stage for a compelling mystery to unfold.
Jyothi Roy's character, Rai, who suffers from a rare disorder called D-Bound, is told that her complete recovery would be akin to a rebirth, after which she'd be unstoppable.
