In the teaser for 'Pushpa', which is 2-minute long, Allu Arjun comes across as effortlessly ferocious. But director Sukumar also has him let the hair down in spurts.

Set in the jungles of Chittoor, the pan-India flick has Bunny in the role of a smuggler of red sandalwood, a fact made clear right at the outset. We see a police operation against the gang of smugglers, who seem to be angst-ridden bandits. Rashmika Mandanna is seen for a brief while. Is she mooning over Pushparaj, seen in a retro look?

Cinematographer Miroslaw Kuba captures the verdant locations with rawness. Devi Sri Prasad leaves a mild impact. While Anthony L Ruben is the editor, Resul Pookutty is its sound designer.

To be released on August 13 in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada, the film has Fahadh Faasil, who is unseen in the teaser, as the villain.

Prakash Raj, Jalapathi Babu have been repeated from Rangasthalam. Sunil and Dayanand are part of the cast.
