The 45-second video shows the wrestler side of Ram Charan’s character, where he can be seen with long, tied hair and a rugged, chiseled physique. He is seen performing high-intensity workouts, tossing heavy sacks into a truck, almost like a German suplex. The visuals also capture him lifting heavy weights using a traditional well-set-up.
A narration in the video seems someone saying to Ram Charan, “Wrestling isn’t like cricket, where you just face a ball and bat. It’s a game where you face death itself”. As they invite him for a match, he says, “Dear, listen, my pride is my game”.The clip has high-quality, gritty visuals and the teaser includes glimpses of a wrestling bout and sequences of him training under heavy rain. He confidently signs off the teaser, twirling his moustache to show his pride. The makers released the teaser in multiple languages, including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada.Watch the teaser below
