Viswam glimpse

The video opens with wedding celebrations taking place in Himachal Pradesh, with the bride and groom celebrating with their loved ones as musicians play various instruments, a priest chants mantras, and chefs whip up a delicious feast. Soon, Gopichand enters wearing a hoodie, carrying a guitar case on his shoulder. He whips up a machine gun from it.

Surprisingly, he starts shooting at the wedding party, killing the priest, bride, groom and the rest of the attendees. He serves himself some food and says, “Daane daane pe likha, khaane wala ka naam…ispe likha mera naam. (The name of the person meant to eat it is written on every grain, this one has my name on it)."

Fans were surprised to see Gopichand play a grey character. One of them joked, “Biriyani kavalante adigithe pedathatu gaa andarini champesi thenaalaa. (They would’ve given you biryani had you asked; you didn’t need to kill them.) Another noted that both the actor and the director needed a hit, writing, “Both Gopichand & Sreenu are suffering with Disasters. May they get a break with this movie. (sic)”
