Tiger Nageswara Rao

India's biggest thief, Tiger Nageswara Rao, is about to make his grand entrance on the big screen. The film headlined by Ravi Teja is set against the backdrop of the 1970s, a time when Stuartpuram in Andhra Pradesh was firmly under the rule of the fearsome outlaw.

Directed by Vamsee, the 150-second trailer commences with a gang of lawbreakers inside a warehouse as they vie for control of the Guntur railway station. Billed as being “inspired by real-life rumours”, the trailer introduces a character who tips off the police regarding an impending heist on the Kakinada-Madras Circar Express. When pressed by the officer about the perpetrator's identity, the informant boldly takes credit, declaring, “I always issue a warning before my strikes or thefts.”

In addition to Ravi Teja, the film boasts a stellar cast featuring Jisshu Sengupta, Nupur Sanon, Gayathri Bharadwaj, Renu Desai and Anupam Kher in prominent roles. Tiger Nageswara Rao is all set to arrive in cinemas on October 20.

12th Fail

Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s latest directorial venture 12th Fail, inspired by a true story, delves into the arduous struggles faced by countless students attempting the UPSC entrance exam. The film is headlined by Vikrant Massey who plays Manoj, an aspiring IPS officer.

The nearly three-minute trailer of the film begins with Manoj's academic setback. Following his 12th-grade failure, Manoj experiences despair, but his friends rally behind him, urging him not to lose hope. The trailer also underscores the staggering cutthroat competition with only approximately 30 out of two lakh UPSC candidates succeeding in the exams. The trailer also highlights how Manoj had to endure mistreatment from his teachers and seniors but resolutely followed his dreams. 12th Fail will release in theatres on October 27.
