The trailer begins with Ananya’s character, Nella, signing up for an app designed to take control of her life and happiness. As expected, she lets the app take charge, leading to a cascade of unforeseen consequences. Initially, the trailer portrays Nella in a blissful relationship with her boyfriend, played by Vihaan Samat. The couple shares joyful moments, showcasing their love story on social media.
