Bagheera trailer out, Sriimurali goes all out

While the trailer keeps the plotline hidden, it does indicate that Sriimurali will essay the role of a vigilante. Bagheera, the title character, takes matters into his own hands as the city is infested with criminals. He fights hardened criminals and outlaws and assassinates them without mercy, all while cops try to hunt him down for being an outlaw. Under Suri's direction, the film will look to take over the box office as it hits the big screens on Diwali.

With Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again arriving in cinema halls around the same time, it seems like Bagheera will have a difficult time in replicating the success of Hombale Film's previous releases Salaar and KGF in the North markets.

Netizens find similarities with Neel's cinematic universe

Prashanth Neel has written the story of Bagheera and also serves as one of the creative minds behind the project. Since the tonality and music of Bagheera resembled some of Neel's films in the past, many drew comparisons between Bagheera, Salaar and KGF, saying the latest film from Hombale looks like a rehash of older ones.
