Ryan Reynolds presenting an Indian film internationally? That's some big ambition, and I'm all for it! If the content is strong, this could be a great step for Indian cinema to reach global audiences. Raghav's look is definitely fierce—wish him a very happy birthday! 🎂
Happy birthday, Raghav! The poster looks intense, and I loved his work in 'Kill'. But releasing in 8 languages seems a bit overhyped—let's see if the movie actually delivers. Hope it's not just style over substance.
I'm so excited for this one! Nani and Raghav together—what a combo! The gold chain look is giving me vintage don vibes. Also, kudos to the makers for thinking global with Ryan Reynolds. Indian content deserves a worldwide stage. Bring on August 2026! 🙌
Raghav Juyal has really transformed his image. From street dancer to a rugged character like Vikram Maalik—it's a bold move. But I hope the film has a strong story to match this hype, not just flashy posters.
Ryan Reynolds presenting a Telugu film? That's wild! But honestly, Raghav Juyal is talented, and his role in 'Kill' was fantastic. The gold chains look a bit gaudy to me, but maybe it fits the character. Happy birthday, Raghav!
