The poster shows Subhas Chandra Bose picture in the background and helicopter crash. There is a question on the poster.
Meanwhile, the teaser opens with a voiceover claiming that Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose died in an airplane crash in 1945. However, there were many speculations that he was captured by Russia where he was tortured to death.
The teaser shows a glimpse of Mahatma Gandhi sent a telegram to Bose's family requesting them to stop Bose's funeral ceremony and instigating that maybe Bose is alive. The voiceover further explains that there are theories that Bose did return to India but started living as a monk. The combination of these two incidents inspires Mukherji's film into a present-day courtroom drama as they as try to decode the legend of Gumnami Baba.
The film is based on Gumnaami baba who was assumed to be the legendary freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Baba led the life as Hindu saint in Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh in the 1970s or 80s. Netaji Bose died in a plane crash in 1945 which has been doubted by many.
