Official trailer and plot of Mirage
Mirage is a crime thriller that follows Abhirami, a young woman thrown into turmoil when her fiancé, Kiran, mysteriously disappears. Before vanishing, Kiran had been involved with a financial consultancy that seemed to be hiding dark secrets. As Abhirami searches for clues about his whereabouts, she begins to realize that the situation is far more complicated than it initially appeared.
Desperate to uncover the truth, Abhirami teams up with Aswin, an online investigative journalist. As they dig deeper, they find themselves navigating betrayals, unexpected allies, and shocking revelations.

Mirage features Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali in the lead roles, reuniting after their blockbuster hit Kishkindha Kaandam. In addition to the leads, the movie stars Hakim Shahjahan, Hannah Reji Koshy, Saravanan, Sampath Raj, Deepak Parambol, and several others in pivotal roles.
