Spine-chilling glimpse from 'Vrushakarma' out!

The makers of director Karthik Dandu's highly anticipated mythological thriller 'Vrushakarma', featuring actor Naga Chaitanya in the lead, on Thursday released a stunning, spine-chilling glimpse video from the film, that showed that the film would be much more than just an adventure revolving around a treasure hunt and that it would be more of a mythological thriller involving dark powers.

Taking to its social media handles to share the glimpse video, production house Sri Venkateswara Cine Chitra (SVCC) wrote, "A mythical thriller like never before. Enter the world of #Vrushakarma. #VrushakarmaGlimpse OUT NOW. Yuvasamrat @chay_akkineni in @karthikdandu86's vision."

The glimpse video opens with a man, who is possessed by an evil power, sketching a portrait of a man whose eye is gouged out. After he finishes his sketch, he starts wincing in pain and eventually we see a bat like creature emerge from his mouth. It makes its way and kills a man in exactly the manner in which the portrait was made.

A voiceover says, "When an unparalleled power awakens... when the creation deviates from its purpose... destiny will choose its own course." Even as the video gives a fleeting glimpse at the characters of Jayaram, Meenakshi Chaudhary and Naga Chaitanya in the film.

The makers have already disclosed that Meenakshi Chaudhary plays a character called Daksha in the film, while Jayaram plays a character called Professor Ranganath.

The glimpse video goes on to substantiate Naga Chaitanya's claims about this film, before he began work on it.

The actor, in an interview had said that his upcoming film with director Karthik, who is best known for having directed the horror thriller 'Virupaksha', would be a mythological thriller.

"This will be a very heavy VFX-based cinema and I am very excited about this project," Naga Chaitanya had said. The actor had gone on to point out that he had not done a film with this kind of span in his 15-year film career.

"This film will be in the zone of adventure, treasure hunting," the actor had said then.
