If you're street-smart, you will find a way in this quicksand of a world, which is bent on dragging you down. This is the basic philosophy in which the upcoming streaming show 'Faadu' finds its essence. The teaser of the series, which is directed by Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, was unveiled on Monday, and it presents a promising story. Taking a contrasting route, the teaser seems to be purposely made quiet and subtle to build around just the perfect intrigue around the show. The teaser walks a tight-rope between being underwhelming and being loud.

The teaser, which is close to 2 minutes in length, showcases the life of Pavail Gulati's lead character and how while cutting corners, he falls into a serious trouble - a life threatening one as the love of his life played by Saiyami Kher sits beside him surrounded by hospital machines and equipments. Director Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari, who makes her streaming series debut, said: "'Faadu' maps the journey of two complex individuals and their contrasting life ideologies on ambition and love. To be able to explore the complexities of different thinking characters to greater depths, experiment, adapt new thought processes with the storytelling structure that OTT offers has been a gratifying learning experience."
