Gang Leader is helmed by Vikram Kumar.Nani unveiled the first look poster of his upcoming film Gang Leader on Monday. The actor tweeted the poster that features a team of five women and himself. The squad is called “Revengers”, which is a fun spin on the superhero team, Avengers.
“Baamma..Varalakshmi..Priya..Swathi..Chinnu… REVENGERS ASSEMBLE (sic),” Nani captioned the poster.
Gang Leader borrows its title from the cult Telugu hit, which had Chiranjeevi in the lead role. It’s worth noting that the 1991 blockbuster catapulted Chiranjeevi to superstardom.
Besides Nani, the movie also stars Priyanka, Lakshmi, Saranya, Aneesh Kuruvilla, Priyadarshi, Raghubabu, Vennela Kishore, Jaija and Sathya. Kartikeya Gummakonda of RX 100 fame is playing the main antagonist in the film.
