Valmiki pre-teaser: Varun Tej's total makeover

We have never seen Varun Tej in such an avtaar before. Looks like he is trying out something new in his upcoming film Valmiki.
 
The pre-teaser of the film is out today. Looks like he is playing a negative role in this film. He looks kind of eerie in this pre-teaser. With surma in his eyes and bush beard along with unruly curls, the look does create good interest.
 
Harish Shankar is the director of this film, while Mickey J Meyer has given the music. The background score is also interesting in the teaser. Valmiki is produced Ram Achanta and Gopi Achanta on 14 Reels Plus LLP.
