With this number, Jr NTR’s film is moving in the right direction. The buzz around the film has been great so far. Especially, the character Jai’s trailer has received a lot of love from film fraternity and audiences alike.
The trailer of Kusa was also released recently, and the character does look intriguing. It would be interesting to see how the three characters will be tied together on the silver screen. Directed by Bobby, the film is bankrolled by NTR Arts and the music is composed by Devi Sri Prasad. Even though the film has been embroiled in controversies due to leaks, it looks like the film is set to race to the top of the box office.
