No one in India makes crazier, more violent movies than Tollywood director Boyapati Sreenu. He burst onto the scene in 2010 with the ultraviolent multigenerational masala film Simha starring Balakrishna that features what is inarguably the greatest onscreen decapitation of all time. In the years since then Srinu has struggled to reach the same apex of bloody madness, but has fallen short. With his new film Sarrainodu he's giving it another shot, and color me excited after seeing the full trailer.
The film features Stylish Star Allu Arjun, known as Bunny to his fans, as a total badass who makes many people bleed. Even though his nicknames are cutesy, Allu Arjun has a history of kicking ass in Tollywood films. He's kicked medieval ass in films like Badrinath and Rudramadevi, he's kicked ninja ass in Iddarammayalitho, and it looks like he's ready to kick some rural ass in Sarrainodu. As is typical with Indian films, there are no plot details available, but the visuals speak for themselves.
Sarrainodu is produced by Geetha Arts, the company behind many of Telugu cinema's biggest blockbusters, including SS Rajamouli's Magadheera. The company is led by Allu Arjun's father, Allu Aravind, so I expect that no expense was spared in making Sarrainodu the most badass film possible. If this trailer is any indication, we're in for a fun ride.
Sarrainodu is due in theaters on April 22nd.
