Pawan Kalyan’s first look as a lawyer in the upcoming Telugu film Vakeel Saab was released on Wednesday in the form of a moving poster. The video was released to commemorate the actor’s 49th birthday.
The video features Pawan Kalyan’s character as Vakeel Saab, a lawyer. He is seen holding a criminal law book in one hand and a lathi in the other. Following the video, it looks like the movie will be a highly commercialized remake of Pink.
The video begins by moving the camera towards photos of Mahatma Gandhi and BR Ambedkar hanging on the wall of a courtroom. When Pawan Kalyan enters the scene, the pages of the criminal law book and the Penal Code of India fly through the air. He is dressed in black and white.
Vakeel Saab is the official Telugu remake of Amitabh Bachchan and the protagonist of Taapsee Pannu, Pink. Pawan Kalyan, after a brief hiatus, has returned to acting with this project which has been directed by Venu Sriram. The project, jointly produced by Boney Kapoor and Dil Raju, also stars Nivetha Thomas and Anjali in crucial roles.
The Tamil version of Pink, which was released last year, had Ajith in the role of a lawyer with bipolar problems. Directed by H Vinoth, Nerkonda Paarvai went on to reach gold at the box office with a worldwide gross of more than Rs 150 million.
