Sai Durgha Tej turns warrior in Sambarala Yeti Gattu birthday poster

Sai Durgha Tej has gone full warrior for Sambarala Yeti Gattu. The makers celebrated the actor's birthday by releasing a special poster that puts his new avatar front and centre.

Rugged and battle-worn, he grips a weapon in the still, and the physical transformation he went through for the character is plain to see. The mood is fierce. Every detail in the frame leans into the hard-hitting action the team has been promising.

Rohith KP is at the helm of this action drama, while Niranjan Reddy and Chaitanya Reddy back it as producers. Known to fans simply as SYG, the film is headed for a Sankranthi release in theatres.

Reports say Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt and Kannada actor Dhananjaya play pivotal roles in the film.
