The trailer of Kathanar – The Wild Sorcerer is finally here, and honestly, it looks big. Very big. From the first few seconds itself, you can feel that this is not a regular film. The scale, the visuals, the background score — everything screams grand cinema.
But at the same time, not everyone is fully happy. Especially fans of Anushka Shetty are feeling a bit disappointed after watching the trailer.
Let’s talk about what worked and what didn’t.
A Visual Experience That Feels Different
The first thing you will notice is how rich the film looks. The makers clearly spent a lot of time and money to create this world.
- Dark fantasy setting inspired by old folklore
- Heavy VFX and detailed world-building
- A serious and intense tone throughout
You can see that the film is trying to bring something new, especially for Malayalam cinema. It doesn’t look small or limited — it feels like a proper pan-India fantasy film.
Story Based on a Legendary Character
The film is based on the story of Kathanar, a priest believed to have supernatural powers.
- The story mixes history with fantasy
- There are magical elements and dark forces
- It looks like a battle between good and evil
Even though the trailer doesn’t reveal everything, you can clearly understand that it is going to be a powerful and intense story.
Jayasurya Dominates the Trailer
One thing is very clear — Jayasurya is the main highlight here.
His look, body language, and screen presence are very strong. He completely fits into the role of a powerful sorcerer.
- Looks intense and serious
- Carries the entire trailer on his shoulders
- Feels like a career-best role
After watching the trailer, many people are already saying this could be one of his biggest performances.
Where Is Anushka Shetty?
Now this is where the issue starts.
Anushka Shetty is there in the trailer, but only for a very short time.
- She appears for just a few seconds
- Her character is not clearly explained
- No strong moments or dialogues shown
Fans were expecting more, especially because this is her Malayalam debut and she has a strong fan base.
Why Fans Are Feeling Disappointed
After the trailer release, many fans shared their thoughts online. And most of them are saying the same thing.
- They wanted to see more of Anushka
- Her role looks important but not highlighted
- The trailer focuses mostly on Jayasurya
Because of this, fans feel that her presence was underused in the trailer.
Still, the Film Looks Promising
Even with this disappointment, the film itself still looks very promising.
- Big budget and high production quality
- Unique concept based on folklore
- Strong lead performance
- Designed for a wide audience
This is not the kind of film we see often, especially in this genre.
Final Thoughts
So overall, the trailer of Kathanar – The Wild Sorcerer does its job — it grabs attention and builds curiosity.
It gives us a grand cinematic feel and shows that the film is aiming big. At the same time, it leaves some questions, especially about Anushka Shetty’s role.
Maybe the makers are saving her character for the film. Maybe there is more to her role than what we saw.
But right now, one thing is clear — the film has created strong buzz, and people are already talking about it.
