Preceding the film’s launch, the makers unveiled a poster featuring Pawan Kalyan on a high-end bike, sporting an off-white overcoat and holding a cup of tea. A windmill and a mobile phone tower can be seen in the background and the film’s title is accompanied by a Telugu caption ‘manalni evadra aapedhi’ (who dares to stop us). The poster also announces that ‘this time it’s not just entertainment’.
