The trailer opens with a scene featuring Atal Bihari Vajpayee, portrayed by Tripathi, watching a film. At this moment, Vajpayee remarks to his friend about the public's belief in what is presented to them through media and cinema. The narrative swiftly transitions to Vajpayee grappling with criticism and violence, particularly concerning Nathuram Godse, Mahatma Gandhi's assassin, who spent time in the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, an organisation of which Vajpayee was also a member.
The clip further shows Atal Bihari Vajpayee's political saga by showing his loyal opposition against Indira Gandhi and
Rajiv Gandhi
during the Emergency. The narrative seamlessly transitions to a pivotal moment with the late President Abdul Kalam, congratulating Pankaj Tripathi's Vajpayee for the successful Pokhran nuclear test, showcasing a defining chapter in India's history.
