“Some journeys are special because of the people behind them. Super proud to launch the trailer of Saraswathi, directed by a dear friend. I’ve seen the hard work she’s poured into this, and it truly deserves all your love,” Nani wrote on X while sharing the trailer.
Saraswathi follows a mother whose daughter goes missing after being dropped at school. When she returns to pick her up, she is told the girl is not there. A second story runs alongside this: Priyamani and Kishore play another couple in the same situation, searching the school grounds after being told all students had left. The two tracks gradually come together, pulling in lawyers, a policeman, and a courtroom battle.
The trailer closes with Varalakshmi’s character picking up a gun. The final line sums up the film’s premise: Not every woman stays a Saraswathi, but when pushed far enough, she becomes Kali.
Saraswathi is produced by Varalakshmi and her sister Pooja Sarathkumar under their banner Dosa Diaries. Their mother Radhikaa Sarathkumar is also part of the cast. The rest of the ensemble includes Prakash Raj and Srikanth Iyengar as lawyers, Murali Sharma as a cop, and Naveen Chandra. The release date of the film hasn’t been announced yet.
