'Arjun Chakravarthy: Journey of an Unsung Champion', a period movie written and directed by Vikrant Rudra, is making headlines now for its intriguing first-look poster. Produced by Srini Gubbala, the film stars Vijaya Rama Raju and Sija Rose in lead roles. Ajay, Dayanand Reddy, Ajay Ghosh, and Durgesh, among others, are playing the supporting cast.
Based on the life story of an Indian kabaddi player in the 1980s, the film depicts his struggles and travails. The first-look poster of Vijaya Rama Raju, who plays the title character, has now been unveiled by the production team.
In the first look, Arjun Chakravarthy is seen standing in the middle of the stadium, holding a medal in his hand and with a proud expression on his face. The tagline that compares Arjun Chakravarthy's impact on Indian Kabaddi to Kapil Dev's influence on Indian cricket in the 1980s raises the expectations of the movie to the next level.
