Known for his fearless choice of scripts and unconventional characters, Vishwak Sen once again proves why he is regarded as a “Minimum Quality Entertainment Guarantee” hero. The actor has teamed up with director Sai Kiran Daida for the political drama Legacy, produced by Kalaahi Media, and the makers have unveiled an intense and unsettling teaser on January 1, 2026, setting the tone for what promises to be a gripping cinematic experience.
The teaser introduces Legacy as a dark political character study centered on Siddharth, a reluctant young man pushed into power after the death of his highly influential political leader father. Vishwak Sen’s voiceover opens the teaser with sharp contempt for opportunists who circle power like vultures, waiting for a vacant chair. Though he despises political games, manipulation, and betrayal, Siddharth is forced to step in, driven by the belief that a legacy cannot be abandoned and must be carried forward, no matter the personal cost.
One of the most talked-about moments from the teaser shows Vishwak Sen visiting his father’s memorial and coldly wishing him a “Happy New Year,” underlining the character’s bitterness, grief, and inner conflict. The visuals then escalate in intensity, with glimpses of guns, political corridors, and volatile confrontations, hinting at a narrative filled with moral ambiguity and explosive drama. Vishwak Sen appears as a broken, ruthless, and emotionally scarred man, and his raw screen presence, piercing expressions, and transformed body language add a disturbing realism to the role.
Director Sai Kiran Daida, who earned critical acclaim for Pindam, once again showcases strong technical and artistic command. The teaser reflects his focus on atmosphere, symbolism, and psychological depth rather than conventional political drama tropes. The production values by producers Yeshwanth Daggumati and Saikiran Reddy Daida are visibly rich, with co-producers Sanjay Sambrani and V.V.N Prasad backing the project at scale.
Music composer Govind Vasantha elevates the teaser with a haunting background score that adds a sinister, mysterious layer to the visuals. Known for his work in 96, Govind Vasantha’s involvement has already raised expectations, and his score here perfectly complements the dark emotional core of the film. Cinematography by Jiju Sunny and sharp editing by Sirish Prasad further enhance the mood, making the teaser visually striking and narratively intriguing.
The film features Ekta Rathod as the female lead, with seasoned actors Rao Ramesh, Sachin Khedekar, Murali Mohan, and Kay Kay Menon playing key roles, promising powerful performances across the board. With just its first teaser, Legacy has sparked strong curiosity and positive buzz among audiences, marking an impactful start to the new year for Telugu cinema.
The shooting of Legacy is progressing at a brisk pace, and the makers are expected to announce more updates soon. If the teaser is any indication, this political drama is shaping up to be one of the most intense and talked-about films in Vishwak Sen’s career.
