Further speaking about War, he said, "The people who made that film are absolutely happy with the film that they made. I am sure it's a great film. We wish them all the best..and I just hope the audience will go and see both films."



Watch the film's teaser here:

Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is a historical war film, which narrates the story of an unsung hero and shows Reddy's struggle during India's first civil rebellion against the British rule. The movie is a period drama based on the life of Telugu freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy, who rebelled against the British 10 years before the First War of Independence in 1857.

The film has a stellar cast of Amitabh Bachchan, Chiranjeevi, Ravi Kishan, Nayanthara, Kichcha Sudeep, Vijay Sethupati, Tamannaah, and Jagapathi Babu. This multilingual marks the first film of superstars Amitabh and Chiranjeevi together. While Chiranjeevi plays the titular role, Narasimha Reddy, Amitabh Bachchan plays his mentor. 

Talking about his attire and action sequences, megastar Chiranjeevi said at the teaser launch, "To get into this look we took one hour.. it's the toughest job at this point of time. Ram Charan and Surender everybody made into this work hard..while going through the subject, I thought they can provide a body double for the action sequence. But they made me fight and I already got a bad shoulder, which I got operated. But they only wanted me to do my own action sequence and horse riding at this point in time. But now I cherish and enjoy this feeling (sic)."

Both, War and Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, are slated to release on Gandhi Jayanti, October 2, 2019.
