The trailer begins with Varalaxmi waiting at a police station. We find out that her daughter Saraswathi has gone missing. "I dropped her at school myself, but when I went to pick her up, they say that she is not there," we hear the actress say.
Meanwhile, Priyamani and Kishore too find themselves in the same predicament. Priyamani asks the school's watchman if her child hasn't come yet. The watchman replies that everybody has left and that there is nobody in school. We then see both Priyamani and Kishore frantically searching for their child inside the school.
The cops soon swing into action and begin to make inquiries, accusing Varalaxmi of being guilty, though she insists that her daughter will not go anywhere without informing her. Anxiously, she then approaches Prakash Raj, who plays advocate Ramanunajam in the film. Initially reluctant to take her case due to a lack of proof, we see him appearing on her behalf in court. We realise that a crime has occurred and that even after a long drawn legal battle, Varalaxmi will be unable to get justice. The trailer ends with Varalaxmi procuring a gun and learning to fire it. "Not every woman will be a Saraswathi. If there is a need, she will even turn into a Kali," she says.
About Saraswathi
The film, apart from featuring Varalaxmi herself, features a host of actors, including Prakash Raj, Priyamani, Radhikaa Sarathkumar and Naveen Chandra.
Taking to its Instagram account, Dosa Diaries, the production house producing the film, a few days ago released a promo containing BTS clips of Prakash Raj on the sets of the film and wrote, "Thank you Prakash Raj sir for being our RAMANUJAM. Saraswathi First Look out now."
Varalaxmi too thanked the veteran actor for being a part of their film. She said, "Thank you so much sir..!!! It was a pleasure having you with us."
Saraswathi also boasts of a sound technical team. The film has music by one of Tamil and Telugu film industries' top music director, Thaman. Cinematography for the film has been handled by Edwin Sakay, while editing for the film is by Venkat Raajen. Art direction is by Sudheer and dance choreography is by Brinda.
