Vijay Deverakonda’s upcoming movie Ranabaali is creating a lot of interest among movie lovers. The trailer was released on October 8 and has already started many discussions on social media. Vijay looks completely different in the movie, and one particular avatar shown at the end of the trailer is getting special attention.
Ranabaali is directed by Rahul Sankrityan who scored a super hit with Shyam Singh Roy and is set during the British period. The story is connected to an artificial famine in South India and the problems faced by common people during that time. Vijay plays a rebellious character who stands against the British officers.
The trailer has many powerful moments. Vijay’s dialogues, action scenes and the background music give the film a strong mass feel. One dialogue, where Vijay says “Puttaparthi daggara narukuta,” has also caught the attention of fans.
But the biggest surprise comes towards the end of the trailer. In the final portion, Vijay appears in a raw and rugged mass avatar. The look is very different from what we see in most of the trailer. The makers have not completely revealed this look. They have shown only a small glimpse which has made fans more curious.
This is now making many people wonder whether this avatar will become one of the biggest highlights of Ranabaali. The makers may have deliberately kept the complete look away from the trailer. If the full avatar is shown only in the movie then it could create a big response in theatres.
The character also seems to have a strong connection with the story. So, this may not be just a look created for a mass elevation. It could be an important part of Vijay’s character and the film’s story.
Another major attraction is Hollywood actor Arnold Vosloo, who plays the main villain. His scenes with Vijay are expected to be interesting. Rashmika Mandanna is playing Jayamma, Vijay’s wife, and their combination is also one of the major reasons for the film’s expectations.
The trailer has already given fans several mass moments. But the final avatar has created a different kind of curiosity because the makers have not shown it clearly.
Vijay has tried different looks and characters in his career. If this new avatar is connected strongly to the main story, it could become one of the most memorable parts of Ranabaali.
The movie is arriving in theatres on October 16. With such a powerful packed trailer, it looks like Vijay and Rashmika is going to bag first blockbuster after their marriage.
