They had previously also released a pre-look of the “Love birds hanging around at the beach..” (sic) Sharing details about a song from the film, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma shared the first-look on his social media and wrote, "BLOCK BUSTER #issmartShanker team @purijagan and @Charmmeofficial unleash a sizzling first look of #Romantic directed by ⁦@anilpaduri starring @ActorAkashPuri and #ketikasharma ..I happened to see a song last night and never seen a more romantically sensuous song." (sic) In the first-look and pre-look, while Ketika’s look cannot be seen, a significant change can be seen in Akash Puri’s physique. He can be seen looking more buff than he did in his debut film ‘Mehbooba’ in which he played a young college student and soldier both. In ‘Romantic’, Akash Puri will be playing the role of a slum-dweller. The film is being produced by Puri Jagannadh and Charmme under their Puri Connects banner. Further details of the film are awaited.
