The makers of Killer have come up with one of the boldest promotional stunts in recent Telugu cinema. At the film’s trailer launch today, they announced a ₹1 crore reward for anyone who can guess the big twist in the second half.
The ₹1 Crore Challenge
The team displayed a giant ₹1 crore cheque on stage with the words “Guess the Second-Half Twist” written on it.
Here’s how it will work. At the pre-release event, the makers will share a WhatsApp number. Anyone who correctly cracks the unique twist or key point in the second half can send in their guess. If someone gets it right, the makers will hand over the ₹1 crore cheque at the film’s success meet.
It’s a confident move. The team clearly believes the twist is so unique that audiences won’t be able to see it coming.
The Trailer: Science Meets Superpowers
The trailer for Killer is out, and it promises a sci-fi action film with a unique screenplay, lots of twists and a fresh presentation. The film blends science with a superpower-style story.
Even the earlier teaser kept audiences guessing about the lead character, Jyoti. Is she a spy, a vampire, a superhero or a terrorist? The story is said to be driven by artificial intelligence, with a layered, futuristic world.
Cast and Crew
Jyoti Poorvaj plays the lead role of Jyoti. The film is directed by Poorvaaj, who also acts in it and produces it along with Padmanabha Reddy A. It’s presented by Urveesh Poorvaaj and backed by Think Cinema and AU & I Studios.
Release Date
- Premieres: October 29
- Release: October 30
Brave Clash With Aadarsha Kutumbam
Killer is releasing on October 30, the same day as Venkatesh and Trivikram’s Aadarsha Kutumbam. While several small films are rethinking their October 30 plans, the Killer team is going ahead with confidence.
The ₹1 crore challenge could be the hook that helps it stand out against a big star film.
