Pankaj immerses himself completely in the character of the former Prime Minister and showcases the difficult journey Vajpayee underwent due to party allegations and ideological clashes. The trailer offers glimpses into significant events such as the Ram Mandir movement and the Pokhran nuclear test.

The trailer opens with a moving scene where Atal Bihari Vajpayee, portrayed by Pankaj, reflects on the cinema's portrayal of happiness and prosperity. However, the tone shifts dramatically with the news of Mahatma Gandhi's assassination and the subsequent stain on the party due to Godse's connection with the Sangh.

Addressing the accusations faced by the party, Pankaj’s character expresses frustration and states, "Whenever we strive to do something good for the country, we are labeled communal." The trailer further weaves in glimpses of Indira Gandhi and highlights the clash between 'Hindutva versus progressivism.'

Pankaj’s portrayal captures every nuance of Atal Bihari convincingly from language and attire to mannerisms and speeches. The trailer also includes a significant scene depicting APJ Abdul Kalam congratulating Vajpayee on the success of the Pokhran nuclear test.
