Another hour later, the makers dropped a 48 second teaser video captioned “DYING TO SURVIVE!” In the video, Kapoor is seen stuck inside a freezer as her face turns red due to the cold. She is seen rubbing her hands, banging the walls, fighting, struggling, and not leaving any stone unturned to get herself out of the place. The teaser video also has a glimpse of Sunny Kaushal riding a scooty.

Produced by Boney Kapoor, the upcoming film is the official Hindi remake of the 2019 Malayalam film Helen directed by Mathukutty Xavier, which has also been remade into Tamil, titled Anbirkinyal. Helen stars Anan Ben in the lead role along with Lal, Noble Babu Thomas, Aju Varghese, Rony David, and Binu Pappu in pivotal roles. The original Malayalam film won two National Film Awards – Best Debut Film of a Director and Best Make-up Artist (Ranjith Ambady). In the film, Helen works at a Chicken Hub where she is later locked inside the freezer by mistake and has to survive -18 degrees. During the struggles to get out, she fractures her leg, gets frostbite, and bleeds through her nose. She is finally rescued after five hours and taken to the hospital right before she was about to reach the last stage of hypothermia.
