Whenever a male actor flaunts his toned body, he manages to garner instant attention. That's what Sudheer Babu has done with the trailer of 'V'. Director Mohanakrishna Indraganti seems to have imagined him as an action-driven super-cop in the movie. In that sense, the actor has surely essayed a role that is a far cry from his 'Sammohanam' act.

In one of the shots in the trailer of 'V', a shirtless Sudheer is seen bashing up his enemies. And the shot oozes masculinity. The film is not just a thriller but an action-thriller.

The 'Bhale Manchi Roju' actor has never been this macho barring in the Hindi film 'Baaghi'. After soft roles like in 'Nannu Dochukunduvate', Sudheer is poised to become the go-to guy to experiment more, it would seem.

The jury is out. When 'V' starts streaming on Amazon Prime Video from September 5, the kind of feedback that the actor receives from the audience will be interesting to know. For now, he has made a mark with the trailer.
