Sreenath Bhasi’s two appearances are among the biggest talking points in the teaser. The glimpse does not reveal how the characters are connected, leaving questions around the film’s time-travel concept. His dialogue, “Ini nammade samayaa (It’s our time now),” also features prominently in the teaser.

The film combines time travel with fantasy, humour, thriller elements and emotion. Its unusual title, 'ORIJINAL', has also added to the curiosity around the project, with the film appearing to play with ideas of time, reality and the connection between the two.

Written and directed by Ramees, 'ORIJINAL' is produced by MAZ Media and Ziku Films, with Harshad serving as co-producer. Electronic Kili has composed the music.
