The poster, shared on X, showcases the versatile actor in a rugged, bespectacled avatar against a stormy mountainous backdrop, promising a "masterclass performance in a strong, impactful role."
Sharing the poster, the Mega Power Star wrote, "Honoured and super glad to be 'APPALASOORI' in Peddi. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this role."
Mirai – Super Yodha, Ghaati, Jaat, and Akhanda 2: Thaandavam are among Jaggu Bhai's recent movies. The last of these had him in a cameo. Pushpa 2: The Rule, Kanguva, Mr. Bachchan, Simbaa, and Guntur Kaaram were among his movies released in 2024.
