He tells her that he would have come himself, if she had made a trunk call. She replies in Telugu, “You would have died, had I not come!”

Meanwhile, the teaser gives away the fact that Ravi Mohan’s character is intent on killing Sivakarthikeyan’s character. It finally ends announcing the title of the film as Parasakthi (Supreme power).

Actor Sivakarthikeyan shared the teaser on his X timeline, saying, “#???????? #Parasakthi Tamil title teaser.”
