Jana Gana Mana promo

The promo opens with an interrogation scene between a cop and a suspect. In the promo, presumably, the suspect has faced some harsh realities of our society, and he is philosophical. Meanwhile, the cop seems unshaken with all the conviction in the country’s criminal justice system. As the teaser progresses further, the cop says, “The truth will win,” to Prithviraj, as the latter keeps expressing his confidence to walk free. But, he gets thrashed by the cop after he expresses how there are mixed feelings in this country even about Gandhi’s killing. Watch it below:

Along with Prithviraj, the Dijo Jose Antony directorial will also feature Suraj Venjaramoodu in the lead. The duo previously shared the screen space for 2019’s release Driving License, which was a BO hit. While the script of the upcoming film is penned by Sharis Mohammed, it will be bankrolled by the actor's wife Supriya Menon.
