Ravi Teja looks like a ferocious tiger in the first-look poster that sees him in a rugged get-up with a thick beard. He can be seen behind bars.

As mentioned at the beginning of the video, the story is inspired by true rumors. “It was the 70s. A small village in the coastal region of the Bay of Bengal... Even the darkness that scares the world is afraid of the people there... The train that makes huge noise trembles when it reaches the outskirts of the area... The feet of people shudder when they see the landmark of the town... Stuartpuram is the crime capital of South India... That area has another name... Tiger Zone… The Zone of Tiger Nageswara Rao...” explains the voiceover. The dialogue- “You might have seen a tiger hunting a deer? Have you ever seen a tiger hunting a tiger?” uttered Ravi Teja describing the ruthless nature of the character. The voiceovers of the superstars make the portrayal more interesting.
The visuals captured by R Madhie ISC, and the sound created by GV Prakash Kumar give enough elevation and take us to the world of notorious criminals. Ravi Teja’s body language, diction, and getup are completely different. The first look and the concept video create curiosity among the audience. Nupur Sanon and Gayathri Bharadwaj are roped in to play the leading ladies opposite Ravi Teja in the movie. Tiger Nageswara Rao hits the big screens for Dussehra releasing grandly worldwide on October 20th.
