Nene Raju Nene Mantri teaser: Rana Daggubati ditches beefy Baahubali look

Nene Raju Nene Mantri’s new teaser shows Baahubali’s Rana Daggubati is a completely new avatar -- gone is the beefy Bhallaladeva, enter a lean politico.

The teaser of Nene Raju Nene Mantri starring actor Rana Daggubati is out. A short 40-second teaser shows us a very different Rana -- gone is the beefy Bhallaladeva, enter a lean and mean machine. Rana plays an influential politician in the film.

Nene Raju Nene Mantri stars Rana Daggubati, Kajal Aggarwal and Catherine Tresa.

The teaser opens with a chained Rana stepping out of his prison cell. We also notice his face is covered and he is being taken somewhere... minutes later, we see him standing next to a noose. This time, his face is unmasked. Slowly, he ties his dhoti, puffs a cigarette and then chucks it, all the while staring at the camera. Too much swag...

Nene Raju Nene Mantri also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Catherine Tresa, Navdeep and Ashutosh Rana and is directed by Teja. The film will simultaneously release in Tamil, Malayalam and Hindi. Produced by Suresh Babu, the film is expected to release later this year.
