The trailer of Pawan Kalyan and Rana Daggubati starrer forthcoming Telugu film Bheemla Nayak was released recently. The film pits the lead characters in a battle of power versus duty, going by the video unveiled on Monday night.

Bheemla Nayak is the official remake of the Malayalam film Ayyappanum Koshiyum, which tells the story of its title characters, Ayyappan Nair and Koshy Kurian. They lock horns over an incident and their egos take them on a wild trip.

While Biju Menon played the character Ayyappan Nair, a policeman with unblemished records, Prithviraj Sukumaran was seen as a retired Army havildar Koshy Kurian, who had put in 16 years of service.

While Pawan Kalyan has reprised the role of Ayyappan Nair, which was played by Biju Menon, Rana Daggubati has essayed the role of Prithviraj. It’s the first time both will be seen together on screen.

Bheemla Nayak, which hits the screens worldwide on February 25, has been directed Saagar K Chandra. It also stars Nithya Menen, Murali Sharma and Samyuktha Menon in key roles. SS Thaman has composed the music. The film is produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi under the banner Sithara Entertainments.
