'Simham mounanni sanyasam anukovaddu.. Silent ga undani gelikithe thala korikesthadi', thunders Simha. Since the line was never there, it had to be invented for Balakrishna.

The short teaser of 'Jai Simha' is high on verve and valour. Balayya is on a rampage, issuing warnings and walking out with equal gusto. When he roars with his mouth open, Chirantan Bhatt actually uses the lion's roar for effect!

Nayanthara dazzles for a few seconds, while Prakash Raj and Ashutosh Rana are there to take on him.

If you were to watch the visuals and listen only to the song playing out in the background, you are sure to be reminded of Ram Gopal Varma's done-to-death montage songs in film after film.

Produced by CK Entertainments, it has Brahmanandam, Murali Mohan, Jayaprakash Reddy, 'Kalakeya' Prabhakar, Shiva Parvathi and others in its cast. The cinematography is by Ramprasad. The story and dialogues are by M Ratnam. Art Direction is by Narayana Reddy. Action choreography is by Anbariv, Ram Laxman, Venkat.

The film releases on Jan 12, the same date on which Suriya's 'Gang' will release.
