Fans of Shivarajkumar and Sudeep have reason to cheer. Prem will finally be coming out with the much-awaited teaser for The Villain. The excitement is double for film buffs as the director will have two teasers, one featuring Shivarajkumar and the other, Sudeep, both of which will be launched at GT Mall on June 28. It is likely to be inaugurated by Karnataka's Chief Minister, HD Kumaraswamy.

Interestingly, this will be a paid teaser, a first-of-its-kind in Sandalwood. “We have priced the tickets at Rs 500,” says Prem. The reason for putting a price to the teaser, he says is purely for a social cause. “This is towards helping a few directors, who have been hospitalized and are currently in need of money. So we have decided to donate this money to their families, who are facing a financial problem.”

The Villain has Amy Jackson playing the female lead while Bollywood actor Mithun Chakraborty will play a pivotal role. Telugu actor, Srikanth is also part of the ensemble cast. The film’s music is by Arjun Janya and cinematography by Gire.
