1) R Madhavan as Anthony

R Madhavan is seen playing Anthony Gonsalves, the world-renowned cello player whose tragic passing is observed in the first few moments of the film. The death in question is what leads to the investigation into the house and the possible reasons behind what would appear to be a suicide. Madhavan portrays Anthony as a tragic character with a tumultuous marital past. One can observe that the actor, up until his final moments, is seen channelling his pain into his art.

2) Anushka Shetty as Sakshi

Baahubali star Anushka Shetty is seen playing the deaf-mute artist Sakshi in the film. Through Sakshi, Anushka Shetty fills up the part of the archetypical believer in the unexplained and paranormal that is a pre-requisite for a film that dwells into such matters. Her belief that Anthony and his wife has been killed by the ghost of the previous owner of the house proves to be instrumental in the launch of the investigation. For the majority of the film, she can be seen accompanied by her fiance, Madhavan's Anthony Gonsalves.
