The makers of Chatrapathi, the upcoming film starring Sreenivas Bellamkonda, released the trailer on Tuesday. VV Vinayak, director of films like Lakshmi (2006), Adhurs (2010) and Khaidi No 150 (2017), is the director of the Hindi adaptation of Chatrapathi. The film will hit the theatres on May 12.

The trailer begins with a glimpse of 1985 Pakistan. The story revolves around Sreenivas's character, who is in search of his mother and a younger brother who migrates to India from Pakistan after riots in the neighbouring country. He goes against powerful people to fight for the rights of his people. At the end of the trailer, the mother shoots him with a gun. Meanwhile, Nushrratt plays the female lead.
