Virupaksha TeaserThe teaser of Sai Dharam Tej’s Virupaksha was unveiled a short while ago and it promises that the mega hero is coming up with a mystical suspense thriller.

The teaser starts with the introduction of the conflict in a village and it is described as the “first such occurrence in history”. Then we are introduced to Sai’s character and he is seemingly the man to find the solution.

The low-lit visuals, mystical elements, subsequent thrill factor, and the rural backdrop are highlighted in the teaser. The BGM is also in tune with the visuals. There’s good technical finesse.

But we don’t quite get a clear look at the core plot. There’s an attempt to evoke suspense and mystery just through visuals and not revealing much story-wise. From what we can see, the story revolves around rural superstitions and folklore which should be fresh to the Telugu audience.

For films like these to click, the narrative and visual presentation should be bang on point. Can Sai Dharam Tej and the director Karthik Dandu tick this box? We have to wait for the film’s release to determine the same.

Sai is evidently coming up with a content-driven film this time around and the teaser does its job of evoking intrigue. Over to the trailer now to build on this momentum. The film is funded by SVCC Creations.
