Makers announce delay with new posters
The production house backed by
Mahesh Babu and his wife and former actress Namrata Shirodkar took to their X (formerly Twitter) handle to announce the new date while sharing multiple posters from the film, which consist of portraits of Venkatesh Maha’s character. They captioned the post, “A new date. An unforgettable cinema experience. #RaoBahadur in cinemas worldwide from . / రావు బహదూర్. Remember - "Doubt is a Demon".”
Venkatesh Maha has not only directed but has also written and edited the film. Speaking about the teaser of the film, it was released last year in April and launched by none other than ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli. He added praise for the leading man and wrote, "Happy to see Satyadev evolving and portraying larger-than-life characters.”
About ‘Rao Bahadur’
It features Satya Dev as Rao Bahadur, a man who believes he is possessed by a demon. Though the people around him think he is crazy, the character feels that what he is saying has some truth.
In one sequence, he explains the demon through a fill-in-the-blank analogy, "Doubt is a deadly demon. That is the demon I am possessed by." Satya Dev can be seen in a royal and elderly look in the posters, wearing purple royal clothes and pearls.
‘Rao Bahadur’ single
The makers have also shared a song from the movie named ‘O Sundari’. The song was liked by many viewers for its old-style look and soft music. It showed a vintage world that felt rich and elegant. The visuals gave a strong feeling of an old royal time.
The film also features Deepa Thomas as the female and includes Vikas Muppala, Bala Parasar, Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, and Master Kiran.
The music is composed by Smaran Sai.
