The glimpse also features an extravagant shot from the film, set against the backdrop of a village-like setting from an earlier era. The camera then pans toward Sai Dharam Tej’s character, who plays a fierce villager in the movie. Although the actor's first look is not fully revealed, a backshot of his character, dressed in a dhoti and holding a sharp weapon, is seen standing and gazing at the flaming land.
Based on the glimpse, the film appears to be a historical period drama. While the makers have not disclosed much about Sai Dharam Tej’s character, they previously revealed that Aishwarya Lekshmi will be playing the character of Vasantha in the movie.
