The over 2-minute trailer opens on young Shiva wondering why his father vanished from that particular spot in the dense forest. From here, the movie goes ages back explaining their origin and tells him a story about a legend of how god sent a messiah to protect the villagers from the injustice of King Kulashekara. It dives deeper into the origins of the Bhuta Kola ritual.

The trailer introduces Gulshan Devaiah as a tyrant king, while Rukmini Vasanth plays a princess with whom Berme (played by Rishab Shetty) falls in love. This leads to war between the king and Shiva's ancestor.

It concludes with Berme seemingly possessed by Daiva Kola, a divine energy that helps the villagers.
