Veeram teaser trailer throws light on the different emotions, including, love, greed, war and betrayal that shapes this epic drama. Set in 13th century Kerala, the film resuscitates the real life character made famous through folklore literature and songs.

The promo also packs a punch with the action sequences that are high on traditional martial art, Kalaripayattu. Kunal looks very convincing as a warrior with long tresses and ripped physique. Another highlight of the teaser is the chemistry between Kunal and Himarsha Venkatsamy who first made her mark in the world of fashion by winning the Kingfisher Calendar Hunt in 2010.
