Sarileru Neekevvaru trailer: This Mahesh Babu film is high on entertainment, low on logic

The trailer of Mahesh Babu’s Sarileru Neekevvaru was unveiled at the film’s pre-release event in Hyderabad on Sunday, 5 January. Star Chiranjeevi presided over the event as chief guest.

The two-and-a half minute trailer promises a quintessential festival entertainer with plenty of comedy, action and crowd-pleasing moments.  

The trailer opens with Rashmika Mandanna praying to God in hope of finding a cute, sweet and handsome boy. Mahesh is introduced in the next shot and he’s seen running to catch a train and he notices Rashmika following him.

The initial part of the trailer focuses more on comedy and romantic scenes between Mahesh, Rashmika and the support cast.

Much later in the trailer, the focus shifts on Prakash Raj, who plays the antagonist and he says he can turn his wrongs into rights by sheer power. He locks horns with veteran actress Vijayashanti, who is rumoured to be playing a professor.

Going by the trailer, it looks like Mahesh Babu plays Vijayashanti’s son and when he learns about Prakash Raj, he takes matter into his hands and the visuals hint at a cracker of a face-off between the two characters.

The film marks Vijayashanti’s return to acting after 13 years. Her last on screen appearance was in 2006 film, Nayudamma. She’s widely popular for her action-based films such as Pratighatana (1985) and Karthavyam (1991) among others. 

Directed by Anil Ravipudi, Sarileru Neekevvaru features Mahesh in the role of an army officer. The film, which has been produced on a staggering budget, is gearing up for wide release on 12 January.
