Hombale Films, the master of blockbusters in the Kannada film industry, is coming up with another big hit! After movies like KGF and Salaar, now Bagheera has brought roaring star Sri Murali as a superhero. The Telugu theatrical trailer of this movie was released on October 21, 2024, and fans are in full swing! With a story written by KGF fame Prashanth Neel, this action thriller directed by Dr. Suri hit the theaters on October 31, 2024 on the occasion of Diwali. Let's take a look at this trailer and the highlights of the movie in detail!
What did we see in the trailer?
Goosebumps are guaranteed after watching the Bagheera Telugu trailer! This 2-minute 40-second trailer is gripping right from the first scene. A young boy asks his mother, “Do gods exist only in the Ramayana and Mahabharata?” The mother replies, “When sins increase, sometimes even humans destroy evil spirits in the form of demons.” With this dialogue, Srimurali introduces the character of Bagheera as a dark, powerful vigilante.
In the trailer, Srimurali is seen in two avatars - one as a police officer during the day, and the other as Bagheera at night, slaughtering criminals! No one knows his identity, even the police are a mystery. The fight scenes with the villain Rana, played by Ramachandra Raju, seem to be the highlight of the film. Ajaneesh Loknath’s background score elevates each scene. Rukmini Vasanth is also seen briefly, perhaps in a supporting role for Srimurali. The trailer ends with the questions, “Who is Bagheera? Why is he doing this?”, which takes the suspense to its peak.
What is the story of the film?
The story of Bagheera revolves around a boy named Vedant Prabhakar (Sreemurali). Vedant, who dreamed of becoming a superhero as a child, takes steps in that direction when his mother, before dying of cancer, tells him, “The real superheroes are the police.” After joining as a police officer in Mangalore, he is shocked to see the corruption, crime, and gangster goons named Pujari there. Despite not having superpowers, Vedant transforms into Bagheera and attacks criminals at night to destroy an illegal arms smuggling and human organ racket. Prashanth Neel’s story adds emotions, action, and a superhero vibe to the film.
Cast
Srimurali impressed with a double role (police + vigilante) in this film. Rukmini Vasanth looks like the heroine, but her role is shown a little less in the trailer. A star cast like Prakash Raj, Rangayana Raghu, Achyut Kumar, Sudha Rani, Ramachandra Raju, Garuda Ram are in key roles. Ajaneesh Loknath's music gave life to the film, Arjun Shetty's cinematography, Chetan D'Souza's stunts, and Pranav Sri Prasad's editing took the film to the next level. The film was produced by Vijay Kiragandur from Hombale Films.

The Telugu trailer of Bagheera is a feast for Sri Murali fans! With Prashanth Neel's story, Suri's direction, Ajaneesh's BGM, and high-octane fights, the film offers a powerful experience.
