Ravi Teja's 'Khiladi' trailer promises high-octane action drama thriller
What's the story
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.
Context
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.
Details
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.
