The audio teaser is so intriguing! "One bad habit" line has me hooked. But honestly, I'm a bit disappointed Deepika left the project. She would have been perfect opposite Prabhas.

Vivek Oberoi making a comeback with this big project! Remember his performance in Company and Shootout at Lokhandwala. Hope he gets a solid role that does justice to his talent.

Releasing in 5 languages simultaneously shows the scale of this project. The pan-India approach is really changing Indian cinema. Excited to see how this turns out!

Triptii Dimri replacing Deepika is actually a good choice. She was brilliant in Animal and Qala. Sometimes fresh pairings work better than established ones.

The "sound story" concept is innovative! Releasing just audio teaser builds so much curiosity. Smart marketing move on Prabhas' birthday. Looking forward to more updates!
