The 2 minutes 52 seconds trailer has several impressive graphical shots and has high grandeur in its production that stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, and Mouni Roy playing the vital roles. Chiranjeevi introduces the film through his voice-over in the Telugu version speaking about five elements of the Astra universe and its superpowers called Astras. For ages, these astras were the powers of the ultimate being.

On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor’ aka Shiva gets caught in the fire when he tries to romance Alia, but the fire doesn’t burn him due to his unknown superpowers and it seems like he has to battle with other opposition forces to protect this world and his universe along with himself. There is also a glimpse of Mouni Roy shown as one of the vamps in the movie.

The film will hit the theatres on September 9 and this is for the first time the real-life couple Ranbir appears alongside his wife Alia Bhatt on screen. The film sets its cinematic world called ‘Astraverse’ which is getting released as a Pan-India film in Telugu, Tami, Kannada, Hindi, and Malayalam languages. Director S.S. Rajamouli is presenting the film to the Telugu audience.
