Ram Charan and Surendar Reddy teaming up for a slick actioner is an exciting proposition in itself. That they have done so for a remake is not a dampener. As the teaser says it all, there is a good dose of improvization. Then there is Arvind Swamy, the brand new villain on the block. And everything is set for the hunt to begin.
The audience are liking the way the hero's character has been established in the promos pre-release. And the audience rooting for a hero who has the luxury to choose his villain, is a foregone conclusion.
The hero can't get more aggressive and cerebral at once. As he says, 'Nee snehithudu evaro telisthe, nee character telustundi. Nee shatruvu evaro telisthe, nee capacity telustundi' ('Your character is gauged by who your friend is. Your capacity, by who your enemy is'). With a scheming, ruthless, stylish villain, the man is going to unleash his capacity.
After all, his enemy is his strength!
