A writer's (Siddiqui) life is under threat when becomes a victim of rumors for saving the fiancee (Pednekar) of a political party's future deputy leader (Vyas). One of the hard hitting-lines from the trailer is when Pednekar says, "One idiot tells something to another idiot who goes to say the same to 10 other people without thinking. This is how rumors are spread."

Khan called Mishra "an acting school himself," adding that any actor who works with him on a project, comes out as a polished actor. Khan also spoke about his equation with Siddiqui which the two developed while working on the sets of the upcoming film.
