Dear Comrade teaser: Vijay Deverakonda plays a student leader in Bharat Kamma's action drama

The teaser for Vijay Deverakonda’s much-waited Dear Comrade was unveiled on Sunday, and it shows the superstar playing a rebellious student leader. The teaser has been released in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

Set against the backdrop of a college campus, the brief video captures a blood-soaked Deverakonda engaging in a fist-fight with a few students outside the classrooms. The scene swiftly shifts to a rainy afternoon, where Deverakonda’s character is seen romancing Rashmika Mandana.
