Overview
- Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor’s film, which premiered its trailer at a Mumbai event on Monday, introduces a “crossover athlete” who plays cricket, practices kushti (traditional Indian wrestling), and sprints.
- The makers set a worldwide theatrical release for Thursday, June 4, with global premiere shows on Wednesday, June 3, across multiple languages.
- A. R. Rahman composes the music, and the ensemble includes Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Divyenndu, Boman Irani, and Ravi Kishan.
- At the launch, Ram Charan said he tore cartilage during wrestling shoots after director Buchi Babu Sana used real pehelwans, which he framed as a price paid for authenticity.
- Reaction on X is mixed, with praise for Charan’s screen presence and criticism of the trailer’s edit and VFX, even as industry voices such as Rishab Shetty called the cut “spectacular.”
