Nayattu narrates the story of three police officers KP Manian (Joju George), Sunita Krishna (Nimisha Sajayan) and Praveen Michael (Kunchacko Boban). They are on the run to escape the false case framed against them. Directed by Martin Prakat, Nayattu was a box office hit.

But, the actor commented that he is confident of breaking the flop spree with Custody.

Custody tells the story of an honest constable A Shiva, played by Chaitanya. He is assigned the task of saving a criminal from his rivals. Also in custody are Priyamani, Sampath Raj, Premgi, Vennela Kishore and Premi Vishwanath. Its trailer was unveiled on 5 May and received an overwhelming response from social media users.

According to fans, the highlight of the trailer was Chaitanya playing the role of a police officer. Other fans have praised the background music rendered by Ilaiyaraaja and Yuvan Shankar Raja.
