Virat Karrna’s Nagabandham: The teaser of Nagabandham was unveiled on Sunday, coinciding with Maha Shivaratri, offering a glimpse into the mythological action drama set against the backdrop of the Himalayas. Directed by Abhishek Nama, the film is being mounted as a pan-India release and introduces actor Virat Karrna in a warrior-like role central to the narrative.
The teaser was launched by actor Mahesh Babu. It presents a story rooted in myth and conflict, where hidden secrets buried in a mystical landscape are threatened by human greed. The narrative also references historical turmoil, including the figure of Afghan ruler Abdali, as forces of destruction collide with those seeking to protect what is described as a sacred legacy. At the centre of this struggle stands a warrior character portrayed by Virat Karrna.
