‘Bad Boy Karthik’ Trailer: Naga Shourya’s Rural Actioner Packs in Comedy and Gore in Equal Measure
Every year, the Telugu film industry churns out a number of mass entertainers centered around families. Naga Shourya’s “Bad Boy Karthik” falls in the same category. We have our hero beat up a hundred baddies as festivals, family gatherings and romance play in the background. What is surprising, though, is the element of gore in the trailer. The couple of beheadings, while done discreetly, seem excessive given the nature of the film. Naga Shourya carries off an aura and promises to be excellent in the action scenes.
