The teaser for Sundeep Kishan’s Majaaka was released yesterday. Initially planned for Sankranti, the movie was postponed to February 27 to avoid competition. Directed by Trinadha Rao Nakkina, known for delivering the blockbuster Dhamaka with Ravi Teja, this project was originally intended for Chiranjeevi.
Writer Bezawada Prasanna Kumar first pitched the story to Chiranjeevi, who found it entertaining but didn’t move forward due to various reasons. The role was later revamped for Rao Ramesh in a more comedic tone.
After watching the teaser, it’s evident that Chiranjeevi skipping this project was a wise decision. The mischievous role of a man pursuing a second marriage wouldn’t suit his market and image.
While the story might work with Rao Ramesh, it wouldn’t have aligned with Chiranjeevi’s stature. The film also marks the Tollywood return of former actress Anshu, paired opposite Rao Ramesh. Majaaka promises to deliver a fun filled entertainer.
