Kannada film ‘Garadi’ has released its trailer shortly before its release, and it fuses rustic action with filmy romance and great intensity. A film centered around village wrestling, despite its action-oriented approach there is a much less macho man aesthetic to the flick as it plays out a lot like a sports-drama than an action film, though it adds in elements from both.

Actor Soorya is playing the role of Soori, a champion-in-making in village wrestling. There is a strong element of families who have dedicated their houses to wrestling for decades, and as such it is no mere sport, but rather a matter of family honour, strength, and conviction.

Amid intense practice sessions and local matches, Soori meets a girl played by actress Sonal Montiero for whom he fell on Instagram and has been following her for a long time. Meeting her, he gives her some wrestling sessions and loses on purpose.
