Sita Ramam is one of the many exciting films set for a release in the coming month (August 5). Dulquer Salmaan and Mrunal Thakur play the lead pair in the war romance directed by Hanu Raghavapudi. Ashwini Dutt produces the film under Swapna Cinema while it’s presented by Vyjayanthi Movies. Vishal Chandrasekhar has composed the music for the film.

The film features an ensemble cast and the makers are aggressively promoting each of the characters over the last few weeks. After introducing the characters played by Rashmika Mandanna and Sumanth, now the team has unveiled the first look/glimpse of actor/director Tharun Bhascker as Balaji. Wearing a yellow-tee and sipping a bottle of Gold Spot, the role looks closer to his off-screen persona.

The glimpse released by the team has Tharun saying, “Balaji Hainaa.. Sab Sambhal Lega…” (Balaji will take care of everything). Sporting shades in a casual look, Tharun is effortlessly massy as Balaji and he has been putting the actor in him to good use in the recent past. Prakash Raj, Bhumika Chawla, Gautham Vasudev Menon and Rukmini Vijaykumar too play important roles in the film.
