Sampoo, the mysterious Rakshaka Bhatudu?

After the national pre-occupation with ‘Why Kattappa killed Baahubali’, there is now suspense over a small film, Rakshaka Bhatudu. The makers have been releasing trailers and have been organising events without revealing who the lead actor of the film is. Even the promos show the face of lord Hanuman instead of a cop’s head. “The thing is that it is generating a bit of curiosity among the Telugu audience. What more could we ask for,” explains producer Gururaj, talking about the idea behind the move.

Who’s that: Everyone is keen to know whose face is hidden behind the mask

Akella Vamsi Krishna is directing this horror comedy that revolves around a police station. While the mystery still persists, a source tells us that Hrudaya Kaleyam actor Sampoornesh Babu is playing the lead in the film and is the face hidden behind the mask of Lord Hanuman. “Sampoornesh is already popular with his first film and will be playing the main lead. His role is going to be hilarious,” shares the source.
