Maitreyi dances to Saami Saami

In the video, Maitreyi’s character Devi opted for a traditional green outfit. She also added flowers to her hair. She arrived with her mother Dr Nalini Vishwakumar (Poorna Jagannathan) at a party but was pulled away by her friend for the performance. As Devi said, “Let’s do this”, her mother asked, “Hey what are you doing?” Devi responded with a smirk, “You will see.”

The song on which Devi performed was the dubbed Tamil version of Saami Saami, as the character is about an Indian- American Tamil girl. The video was shared on Twitter with the caption, “I am not kidding but I was actually surprised during this scene when the song started playing Allu Arjun mass I was so much overjoyed. #NeverHaveIEverS4 #AlluArjun.”
