The trailer of actor Nani‘s V has dropped. Written and directed by Mohana Krishna Indraganti, it is bankrolled by Dil Raju, Shirish, and Harshith Reddy under their Sri Venkateswara Creations banner. The actor’s 25th film will see him playing the antagonist in the film with Sudheer Babu as the protagonist and Aditi Rao Hydari and Nivetha Thomas as the female leads. V marks Nani’s third collaboration with both the director and the production house.
A psychopath Nani who loves to kill people in an ‘entertaining way’ is trailed by a cop Sudheer for obvious reasons. Like every cat-and-mouse chase narrative would go, Sudheer tries to track down Nani and the reason behind his side business, yes he apparently has another violent main business, without letting go of his enthusiasm.
While a glimpse of Nivetha can be seen, Aditi doesn’t seem to feature in the trailer. Given the hype around the trailer, it falls short of my expectations.
And as promised, here is the #VTrailerOnPrime ✌️

V is about a cop whose life changes when a killer challenges him with a puzzle. Apart from the lead, the action thriller also stars Jagapathi Babu, Vennela Kishore, Nasser, and Srinivas Avasarala in supporting roles. The film is reportedly high on action, humour, and playful romance.
On the technical front, Amit Trivedi is on music with Thaman S on the background score, PG Vinda is on cinematography, Raveendar is on art, Marthand K Venkatesh is on the edit, and Ravi Varma is on the stunt.
Nani who is overwhelmed with the love and appreciation from fans for the unique trailer reveal said, “The movie is special to me – since it marks my 25th film. To have found such an interesting way to honor all my fans through this unique reveal has been truly exciting. The trailer is a sneak peek into the action-packed, edge-of-the-seat thrill that the movie promises. This is also my 3rd film with Sri Venkateswara Creations and the director Mohana Krishna which makes it all the more special. It is always a pleasure working with them.”
Actor Sudheer Babu said, “Fans enjoy the atmosphere of a big release. We didn’t want to take that fun away from them this time. I’m happy to see the fans participating in the trailer launch. They have always been my strength.”
He added, “V is an action drama which is worth their wait. I’m sure that our collective efforts will be appreciated. The humongous response for the trailer is an indication of that.”

“I express my sincere gratitude to all the fans around the world for their constant support and love! They made the trailer launch of our film V very special. We’re nearing release and I cannot wait for the audience to watch the film and share their views,” said actor Nivetha Thomas.
Actor Aditi Rao Hydari, who calls V a wonderful tribute to Nani, said, “Always grateful for the unconditional love that our fans have showered on us throughout. It is their love and support that keeps us going and inspires us to work harder each time.”
The film was earlier slated to hit theatres on 25 March 2020 for Ugadi but was delayed due to the lockdown. The teaser of the film dropped in February and has garnered over 11 million views.
