The makers of Zombie Reddy 2 – NXT LVL have unveiled the first look of Kannada star Upendra on the occasion of his birthday. The striking poster presents the actor in a never-seen-before avatar, hanging upside down from a massive tree branch while wielding a long weapon. Sporting flowing hair, a rugged appearance and an intense expression, Upendra’s mysterious look immediately grabs attention. The poster carries the intriguing tagline, “Ready to turn the world upside down.”

Upendra’s character details are being kept under wraps, making the unusual first look even more intriguing. The forest-like setting, blazing torches and warrior-inspired costume give the poster a distinct, raw visual identity. His addition is one of the major highlights of the sequel, which promises to take the zombie-action-comedy franchise to a larger scale. Upendra joins Teja Sajja, who returns as the lead, and Shanaya Kapoor, who is making her Telugu debut with the film.
