After appearing in Kingdom and Arabia Kadali, Satyadev will play the lead in Rao Bahadur. Venkatesh Maha directs the actor in this film, where he underwent a complete transformation, showcased in the recently released first look.
Today, maverick director SS Rajamouli released the teaser digitally. It is impressive and leaves the audience intrigued. Satyadev appears in numerous get-ups – a royal look, a beggar-like appearance, a retro pop singer style, and even a traditional teacher style. Are all these characters played by one person, or does Rao Bahadur imagine everything while in the Bhuvanalaylam palace? This is what viewers will discover in the main movie.
Satyadev stuns in his varied looks, and the film serves as an experimental venture for both him and Venkatesh Maha. Whether they will deliver something truly special to the screens remains to be seen. The teaser was recently released exclusively in theaters.
The cast of this psychological drama, set against the backdrop of a fading aristocracy, includes Vikas Muppala, Deepa Thomas, Bala Parasar, Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, Kunal Kaushik, Master Kiran, and others.
The film is presented by Mahesh Babu under his GMB Entertainments banner and produced by Sri Chakraa Entertainments and A+S Movies in association with Mahayana Motion Pictures. Smaran Sai is the music director, and the film is confirmed for a Summer 2026 release.
