The makers of Tovino Thomas and Basil Joseph starrer 'Athiradi' have finally released the trailer of the movie, offering a glimpse into the clash of college rivals over the revival of a fest.

The film is helmed by debut director Arun Anirudhan, who is known for writing the script of Minnal Murali, which was a hit at the box office in 2021. The film is slated to release on May 14.

According to the trailer, the film revolves around the return of a popular college fest. The video introduces Basil Joseph as Samkutty, a student determined to bring the event back to impress his crush, Riya Shibu, in the film.
