The trailer of Mahesh Babu’s Sarileru Neekevvaru was unveiled at the film’s pre-release event in Hyderabad on Sunday. The grand event was presided over by actor Chiranjeevi as special chief guest.
The two and a half minute trailer promises a quintessential festival entertainer with plenty of comedy, action and drama.

The next 45-90 seconds of the trailer is centered on Rashmika’s efforts to make Mahesh fall for her. Her family also joins hands with her in the mission and the subsequent scenes pave way to some comedy.
Much later in the trailer, the focus shifts on Prakash Raj, who plays the antagonist and he says he can turn his wrongs into rights by sheer power. He locks horns with veteran actor Vijayashanti, who is rumoured to be playing a professor.
Going by the trailer, it looks like Mahesh Babu plays Vijayashanti’s son and when he learns about Prakash Raj, he takes matter into his hands and the visuals hint at a cracker of a face-off between the two characters.
