Eagle director makes shocking revelations about film's plot, says Ravi Teja starrer is not serious

Ravi Teja is currently gearing up for the release of his big banner project, Eagle. The film is slated to hit theatres on January 13 and will be part of an intense five-way box office clash. Ahead of the same, director Karthik Ghattamaneni has revealed certain details about the tone of Eagle, doing away with misconceptions about the kind of audience the Ravi Teja starrer is meant for.

Karthik Ghattamaneni says Eagle is not a serious film

During a promotional media interaction for the film, Eagle director Karthik Ghattamaneni opened up about what audiences can expect from the film. The director addressed how while many would presume that Eagle is a serious film, there is enough entertainment and dark humour to keep the audiences entertained throughout.

He said, "We presented the film’s story in the trailer, and hence, people might have felt Eagle is a serious film...Eagle will not have Ravi Teja sir’s mark entertainment, but it will be entertaining in another way. At the end of the day, Eagle is a proper commercial entertainer. As long as the movie is engaging without boring elements, the audience will watch it irrespective of its genre. We haven’t used a few traits of Ravi Teja sir in the film and went ahead as per the story. We suppressed the pro-active trait of Ravi sir."
