Released on Wednesday, 7 April, a day before the actor’s 38th birthday, the teaser shows him in the avatar of a red sanders smuggler named Pushpa Raj. In the teaser, Allu Arjun sports a rustic look as the sandalwood smuggler. It begins with the cutting of red sanders and several people are shown carrying the wood logs on their back.
