'Waltair Veerayya': 'Mass Maharaja' Ravi Teja's first look dropped
The makers of megastar Chiranjeevi and Ravi Teja's upcoming film Waltair Veerayya took to social media on Monday to unveil Teja's first look. Teja will be seen playing play Assistant Commissioner of Police Vikram Sagar, an honest police officer committed to his job. The film has been directed by KS Ravindra (Power) who popularly goes by "Bobby" in the South Indian film industry.
Why does this story matter?
Expectations from Waltair Veerayya are high considering it's billed as an explosive action-thriller that will cater to the masses. Moreover, since Ravindra has delivered commercial successes in the form of Jai Lava Kusa and Venky Mama, his association with the film heightens expectations. Additionally, Teja enjoys an immense fan following in the South, which is expected to translate well into momentous footfalls.
Teja is introduced as a 'tiger' in the teaser
Chiranjeevi unveiled Teja's first poster and a short teaser that captured him performing high-octane action stunts. In the clip, Teja is introduced as a "tiger" and his stunts prove that, too. We also see him caring for a small lamb before and after his fight with his enemies. We wonder if this lamb is going to play any consequential role in the film, too.
