Trailer highlights of Nagarjuna Akkineni's 'The Ghost,' 'Chiyaan' Vikram's 'Cobra'
Trailers of films from two of the critically acclaimed actors from the South: Nagarjuna Akkineni and "Chiyaan" Vikram were dropped on Thursday, to the great joy of their fans. Titled The Ghost and Cobra, respectively, both the trailers were rich in stunt sequences with high production value, promising to be extravagant action dramas. Read on to know the highlights of the trailers.
Why does this story matter?
For Vikram, Cobra marks his comeback to the big screens after about two years. His previous film Mahaan had a direct-to-OTT release and films before that were back-to-back duds. This includes Kadaram Kondan, Saamy Square, and Sketch to name a few. So, Cobra is an important film for him. For Nagarjuna, this film marks his second theatrical outing of the year after Bangarraju.
What did the trailer of 'The Ghost' show?
The trailer starts with a backstory, where the young hero's father asks him to take care of his sister. Fast forward to 20 years later, the lead (Nagarjuna) appears as someone fighting ruthless criminals to protect his sister and her daughter when he learns that their lives are in danger. The two-minute-long video is filled with a lot of bloodshed, guns, and bullets.
