The first look poster of Vishnu Vishal’s upcoming film Gatta Kusthi was released on social media on Wednesday. The film will release as Matti Kusthi in Telugu.

In the poster, Vishnu Vishal features as a wrestler who is gearing up for a big fight in the ring. The actor is seen in a wrestling dress, with a worked out physique. The film’s story is set in a rural backdrop.

Gatta Kusthi is bankrolled by Ravi Teja and Vishnu Vishal together, under their respective banners RT Teamworks, Vishnu Vishal Studioz. The sports drama is directed by Chella Ayyavu, with Aishwarya Lekshmi playing the female lead.

The technical crew consists of music by Justin Prabhakaran, while Richard M Nathan is the cinematographer and Prasanna GK is the editor. The shooting for the film has been completed and the post productions are currently underway. The makers are planning to release the film in December, theatrically.

Gatta Kusthi is the third sports film for Vishnu, who made his debut with Vennila Kabadi Kuzhu (2009). His 2014 film, Jeeva, dealt with the issues and politics surrounding the game of cricket. Meanwhile, the actor, who was last seen in FIR, has Mohandas in the making.
