Yodha has many “layers” to it, actress Raashii Khanna said during the promotions of the upcoming action drama in Hyderabad along with co-star Sidharth Malhotra whose attempt at speaking Telugu prompted a huge round of applause from fans, shows a video dropped by Dharma Productions on Tuesday.

“There are too many layers in this film which probably you will see when the trailer comes out,” Raashii said at a press conference, dressed in a floral green lehenga.

“From press to players, the love for Sidharth Malhotra and Raashii Khanna echoes through #Hyderabad,” the makers captioned their Instagram post which also features Sidharth Malhotra attending the press conference as well as a Pro Kabaddi League match in the state.

Sidharth, who plays an off-duty soldier Arun Katyal in the action thriller, appears nattily dressed in a mint green shirt and cream trousers. His playful quip, “Hero hu mai itna bata du (I am the hero, let me tell you this much),” prompts a loud applause from the audience. The video has snippets of Yodha’s first song Zindagi Tere Naam playing in the background.

The subsequent clips show Sidharth entering the stadium to watch a match of Pro Kabaddi League. Synced with Yodha's background score, the clips capture Sidharth engaging with the players, distributing bottles of water, and conversing with the commentator.

Directed by Sagar Ambre and Pushkar Ojha, Yodha also features Disha Patani in a key role. As per an official synopsis on IMDb, Sidharth’s Arun exhibits his military prowess to outsmart a group of terrorists trying to hijack a plane.

Produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta and Shashank Khaitan, Yodha is slated to hit theatres on March 15.
