'Sarkaru Vaari Paata' trailer: Mahesh Babu and his swoonworthy swag
What's the story
The trailer for Sarkaru Vaari Paata (meaning Government's bid) is finally here!
Makers of the drama released its first trailer just 10 days ahead of its theatrical outing on May 12.
And, it looks like superstar Mahesh Babu is back with another blockbuster after over two years.
The trailer has everything his fans have been craving for: action, romance and drama.
Here's a breakdown.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Babu was last seen in Sarileru Neekevvaru (2020). So, his fans have been waiting eagerly for two years for Sarkaru Vaari Paata.
The superstar has a massive fan following in the Telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana; so much so that he confidently reiterates in interviews that he doesn't need a Bollywood film to launch himself as a pan-Indian star.
And, he's right!
Trailer
What does the trailer show?
The first half of the trailer shows Babu as a soft-hearted romantic hero as we see him singing, shaking a leg and charmingly wooing his romantic interest, played by Keerthy Suresh.
Suresh makes a breezy appearance and gracefully remains in the clip.
Though the first half tries to establish Mahesh (Babu) as a lover boy, his introductory scene has him beating up goons mercilessly.
Observation
Second half shows our hero in full action
It is in the second half we witness the transformation (?) of Mahesh to an aggressive individual.
High-octane action scenes, him bringing down several rivals effortlessly, and swagger-filled walks complete the trailer.
Sadly, Samuthirakani doesn't appear as a fierce antagonist even though the sequences in the trailer try to convey his ferociousness.
Only complaint? The lack of subtitles and this is a disappointing miss!
