Vijay Deveerakonda’s Rowdy Janardhana First Glimpse

The first glimpse and title of Vijay Deverakonda's upcoming action movie have been revealed, with the creators named it Rowdy Janardhana. It was launched on Monday evening, initially with a theater showing for fans, followed by an online release. Helmed by Ravi Kiran Kola, the movie also stars Keerthy Suresh.

In the title preview, the actor appears with a fierce and primal appearance, rendering him almost unrecognizable. Vijay Deverakonda is drenched in blood and has lengthy, thick hair along with a moustache. His updated avatar shows him in a lungi and holding a machete. Filled with excitement and tension, its highlight was the conversation where he explains why he is entitled to the name "Rowdy."

Rowdy Janardhana Cast & Crew

The film featuring Vijay Deverakonda is said to be set in Rayalaseema, blending in political themes. Keerthy Suresh stars as the main female character in the film. Additional essential technicians are costume designer Praveen Raja and cinematographer Anand C Chandran.

Teaser Review

Vijay’s admirers who viewed the premiere in cinemas and subsequently online refer to Rowdy Janardhana as his ‘rowdy redemption’. A fan shared a clip of the video after seeing it in the theater and wrote in all caps, “ROWDY REDEMPTION.”

On the contrary, I think Vijay is attempting to be a ‘Mass Hero’ for the first time in his career. He's been a boy next door, he's been a rebel, he's been a romantic, but never this.

Vijay, currently filming his next movie with Rahul Sankrityan, also shared a video message with his fans. Covering his face to conceal his expression from that movie, he expressed how much he misses viewing it with them. He also disclosed that he asked producer Dil Raju to present his first look to fans prior to unveiling it to the public.

What Is Rowdy Janardhana All About?

The narrative takes place in a village named Kalingapatnam, a location seemingly dominated by violence and intimidation. The town is populated with individuals referred to as rowdies, although they are not inherently criminals. Their last name is Rowdy.

Among them stands Janardhana, portrayed by Vijay Deverakonda, a young man who imparts the real significance of violence through carnage. He shows no reluctance in eliminating anyone who obstructs him. Beneath this frightening exterior is a troubled upbringing steeped in sorrow.

The rage stemming from his past gradually transforms him into a beast. The true identity of Rowdy Janardhana and the motivations behind his destructive actions will only be uncovered when the film is released next year.

With its gritty tone and intense lead performance, Rowdy Janardhana is already building massive anticipation. All eyes are now on how this explosive story unfolds on the big screen.
