Directed by Bejoy Nambiar and presented by Aanand L. Rai, Tu Yaa Main follows Avani, a social media influencer, and Maruti, an aspiring rap star. Their lives collide when they get trapped in a pool with a ferocious crocodile, turning their story into a chilling survival thriller.

Tu Yaa Main is set to release on February 13, clashing at the box office with Vishal Bhardwaj and Shahid Kapoor’s O’Romeo.
