<p>The teaser showcases sequences set in Tretayuga, titled Lanka Nagaram, 7200 BCE. It features Lord Hanuman on a battlefield, and towards the end, Mahesh Babu’s character, Rudra, is seen riding a bull.&nbsp;</p><h2>Varanasi: Who is playing what?</h2><p>In the first-look poster, the superstar is seen sitting on Nandi while holding a trishul, both of which hold deep significance in Hinduism and are associated with Lord Shiva.</p>

<p>A song in English by Mohammed Rafi has gone viral recently, with visuals from contemporary crises and wars added in social media posts featuring the lyrics with the clear message that the world is one although we hail from different lands. The song, recorded five decades ago, is as much prophetic as it is poetic. A couple of years ago, a social media user had added visuals to the song, mostly picked from the images of the contemporary world of wars, violence, poverty and immigration crises. It is being reshared widely now, in the context of the Iran-US-Israel war, global economic turmoil and a general air of hatred over humanity.
