It seems that Varun Tej finally has a blockbuster at his fingertips! At the very least that’s what the trailer of his upcoming film, Korean Kanakaraju, hints at! The teaser of the film released some time back showed how Varun Tej plays a neighborhood Telugu boy who gets posses by a Korean ghost. The trailer offers a clearer glimpse of the film and what the audience can expect.
The trailer, which is sort of 3 minutes long, opens with a pandit, surrounded by candles rather than the same old havan arrange, reciting mantras. Presumably, everyone seems to be convinced that Varun Tej’s character has been possessed by a ghost. The tantric ritual is seen as an try to help Varun Tej rid himself of the ghost in his body. But, we further see that the ghost is in no mood to go away our local boy Kanagaraju.
The trailer of Korean Kanagaraju gives us a glimpse of the havoc brought on by this ghost that possesses Varun Tej’s character. There may be fear in the town, and nobody understands what he speaks once he’s possessed. Many are unable to even recognise what language he’s speaking, and a few wonder if it’s Malayalam from South India.
But how is a neighborhood boy connected to South Korea? Is he a BTS fan or got way too engrossed in a K-Drama? Well, probably not. The trailer shows how Kanaraju is obsessed with a lady who works for the South Korean automobile company and has a colleague from the South Asian country. That is the one connection we see our protagonists have with Korea.
Varun Tej aces each roles as a neighborhood Telugu boy and a Korean gangster chief. We see him change his body language and facial expressions each time he gets possessed. The trailer guarantees amusing riot with elements of horror and fantasy drama. Kanagaraju’s two worlds stand in contrast in color. While the local Telugu avatar of his loves wearing loud colors, the Korean gangster avatar is more of dark colors and a sombre mood. This contrast helps with switching the film’s genre. But one thing’s promised: amusing riot, especially with actor Satya’s one-liners.
Leading lady Ritika Nayak brings within the glam quotient and would be interesting to see what role she plays when Telugu and Korean cultures merge. Thaman S’s music also hits the best note, elevating several moments within the trailer.
Directed by Merlapaka Gandhi, the film will probably be released in theatres on August 7. Varun Tej’s last film, Matka King, did not impress on the box office. Now, all eyes are on Korean Kanakaraju and whether the actor can revive his box-office performance.
