His character is shown riding horses and taking on British forces in several brutal action sequences. The actor sports a rugged appearance, with long hair and a thick moustache.
In one of the key scenes, Ranabaali declares, "Not a grain of this land will be exported out."
Sharing the teaser, Mythri Movie Makers wrote, "They buried the story. They erased the name. They erased their sins. But they could never bury his RAGE. Folklore and History will never forget. RANABAALI. THE SAVAGE’S OATH."
Vijay also shared the teaser on social media, writing, "#NeverForget The Men who came as guests and stayed as oppressors. The Men in our villages, who decided to draw blood. 'The Savage's Oath'."
