A teaser released last year further heightened expectations with its intense tone and politically charged undertones.

Fahadh, who participated in an event recently, made this disclosure on stage. "I play the villain in Patriot.”

A teaser which the makers released last year went on to amplify the expectations of fans and film buffs.
The teaser begins with a voiceover which says, "I remember there was a time when this nation was controlled by the two of them. Together. Over these years, what they earned wasn't just followers. Faith. Trust"
We then see a series of intriguing but intense scenes and hear Mammootty's voice say, "They are going to bring social score to people." We next hear Mohanlal, who appears to play an army general in the film, say, "There are three of us. Do you think you can stop us?"
The teaser then gives us an idea that there is a program called Periscope and that Kunchacko Boban plays a character called Daniel.
Nayanthara is heard asking, "This program which is part of the student laptop scheme. Is that similar to Periscope?" We also hear another voice, asking, "Is this program watching them secretly?" The teaser ends with Mammootty asking someone to complete the sentence, "Great Indian traitor... or Patriot."
