Telugu cinema continues to lead the way in crafting big-budget spectacles that appeal to pan-India audiences. With several high-profile releases on the horizon, the teaser battle is heating up—each one generating massive hype and setting new standards in reach, music, and virality.
Let’s take a look at some of the most talked-about teasers from upcoming Telugu pan-India films and how they’re faring among audiences:
-
The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, recently unveiled its teaser and received glowing praise from Telugu audiences. The visual style and horror backdrop resonated strongly, though Bollywood circles seemed less impressed, likely due to their familiarity with horror themes. As director Maruthi noted, “The trailer might change the game.”
-
Akhanda 2: Thandavam, starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, dropped a teaser that quickly broke YouTube records. Produced by 14 Reels, the team has set its sights on the Hindi market with early promotions in cities like Mumbai. While a few shots faced online trolling, Balayya fans are satisfied with the intensity.
-
Ram Charan’s Peddi teaser became a viral sensation, especially the cricket shot which exploded during the IPL season. Various cricket teams and influencers on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook amplified their reach. Its mass appeal also resonated deeply with rural audiences.
-
Pawan Kalyan’s OG teaser took the internet by storm, with Thaman’s background score becoming a mainstay in live concerts and fan reels. The hype was truly next-level and set a new standard for star-driven promos.
-
On the flip side, the Hari Hara Veera Mallu teaser failed to make the desired impact. Despite its grand visuals and star power, fan expectations were not fully met, and the teaser was met with lukewarm reactions online.
With all these teasers making waves in their own way, the real question is, which film will win big at the box office? Stay tuned—the teaser war has only just begun!
