The trailer of Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film Waltair Veerayya is out and it is exactly what the star’s fans expected. The film appears to be a massy actioner where the Megastar plays a local don whose authority is threatened when Ravi Teja’s character, the city commissioner comes into town.

Directed by KS Ravindra, with music by Devi Sri Prasad, the film also stars Shruti Haasan and Catherine Tresa.During a recent press conference, Chiranjeevi spoke about how he wants to do films that his audience wants from him. He said that he has to “justify” the audience’s affection “by doing films that entertain them.”


“I no longer want to do what I want to do. I want to give what my audience wants from me. SP Balu garu (S. P. Balasubrahmanyam) would ask me why I keep doing only certain kinds of films. I told him that even I have a desire for doing different types of films and that was the reason why I did Rudraveena, Aapadbandhavudu, Swayam Krushi. But, the producers of such films were under huge pressure. By doing such films, I could win awards and appreciation, but if those films don’t entertain a larger number of audiences, I don’t think it’s fair. When so many people love me, I have to justify their affection by doing films that entertain them. And you may think that I’m doing only monotonous films, mass films, despite my talent. But, I will only do films for my fans,” he said at the Waltair Veerayya press conference.

Chiranjeevi thanked Ravi Teja for being a part of the film and shared a tweet saying, “Starting from Ravi’s decision to be a part of this film to shooting with him, and working with him after many years… made me happy. In one word, Waltair Veerayya would have been incomplete without Ravi Teja in it. Ravi Teja played a great role in giving great entertainment in the film. Soon we will discuss it.”


Waltair Veerayya releases in theatres on January 13The movie team launched the theatrical trailer today, and it is well-packed with solid commercial ingredients. Chiranjeevi looks very powerful as Waltair Veerayya, and it is a joy watching the Megastar in his typical style. Chiranjeevi’s aura didn’t change a bit. He is at ease in dialogue delivery, comic timing, dances, and action scenes which is sure to make the fans go gaga about him.


Chiru’s combo shots with Ravi Teja are a feast to watch, and it looks like the movie also has got high amount of drama and emotions apart from entertainment. The production values are exquisite, and the technical brilliance can be seen in every shot of the trailer.


Director Bobby, as promised, has undoubtedly given complete mass stuff through the trailer. Chiru mouthing the very famous dialogue from Ravi Teja’s Idiot film is an example of it. If the same can be reflected throughout the movie, then the sky will be the limit for Megastar’s box office hunt this Sankranthi season.


Ravi Teja’s screen presence is stunning, and we need to see what the makers have in store for the audience through his character. Devi Sri Prasad’s thumping background score and Shruthi Haasan’s glamour are an added advantage. The movie is produced by Mythri Movie Makers and is scheduled to hit the screens on 13th January.
