Review of Yaanai Teaser
Arun Vijay’s rural manifestation challenges opponents in the trailer. Arun Vijay appears strong in the teaser, as in the first look posters, with his well-built physique, while the action-packed massy teaser reveals the film’s motion.
Aerial pictures of Pamban Island and Dhanushkodi open the one-minute video, followed by a voiceover that explains the film. After that, Arun Vijay is seen walking with a Vinayagar idol.
When a few ruffians prepare to attack him, he wears a white shirt and a dhoti and guarantees that the idol is secure. He beats them to a pulp and wields a butcher knife in his hands before taking on additional thugs who are waiting to finish him off.
