Ravi Teja's 'Khiladi' trailer promises high-octane action drama thriller
The Hindi trailer of Ravi Teja's Khiladi is here. The 2:14-minute-long clip has already received over 5L views within an hour of its release, indicating the anticipation around the film is huge. Going by the trailer, we can conclude that the Ramesh Varma-directorial not just has action, it has comedy and romance, too. Khiladi hits theaters on February 11, targeting Valentine's Day week.
Why does the story matter?
The film's Hindi and Telugu versions will release on the same day and this move might prove to be profitable for the makers because of two reasons: One, this is Teja's first Hindi and pan-Indian outing, so his huge fanbase will make sure that their favorite star's film is a hit. And two, there are no major Hindi releases during Valentine's Day week.
What does the trailer show?
The trailer starts with a beautifully shot panoramic view of a city, followed by the introduction of Teja's Mohan Gandhi. His equation with Dimple Hayathi and Meenakshi Chaudhary is humorous. Arjun Sarja, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Nikitin Dheer, Sachin Khedekar, Mukesh Rishi, and Murali Sharma make brief appearances, too. The only low point in the otherwise engaging clip is the objectification of women.

What are the reasons behind its Hindi release?
Pen Studios has backed the project in association with A Studios. Touted to be an action thriller, Khiladi will feature Teja in a double role. Talking about the film's Hindi release, Pen Studios' head Jayantilal Gada said, "Now there is a demand for original content, as the audience likes to see the film in its purest form. The content of Khiladi is extremely entertaining."
These are the upcoming projects of Teja
Besides this film, Teja has multiple projects in the pipeline, including Sudheer Varma's Ravanasura. He also has Tiger Nageswara Rao, and Sarath Mandava's Ramarao On Duty, co-starring Divyansha Kaushik, and Rajisha Vijayan. The film hits the marquee on March 25. Further, he will be seen in Dhamaka. Directed by Trinadha Rao Nakkina, it is likely to be released on April 14.
