The makers of Baahubali are back with another epic—this time swapping swords for sweat and passion. Vyjayanthi Movies has dropped a striking new poster for their upcoming Telugu period sports drama Champion, starring rising talent Roshan Meka, and fans can already sense something big in the making.
The official handle revealed the poster with the caption: “Enter the world of #Champion. Watch the Teaser exclusively in theatres with the mighty #BaahubaliTheEpic. Digital Release Tomorrow, Nov 1st at 11:17 AM. In Cinemas #ChampionOnDec25th.” The announcement immediately set social media abuzz, thanks to the studio’s clever move to attach the film’s teaser to the re-release of Baahubali, ensuring maximum big-screen attention.
Directed by National Award-winner Pradeep Advaitham, Champion transports audiences to pre-independence Secunderabad, where Roshan’s character—a determined young athlete—battles not just rivals on the field, but the social and political odds stacked against him. The combination of period drama and sports triumph promises a story that’s both emotional and inspiring.
Adding more brilliance to the mix is music maestro Mickey J. Meyer, known for his stirring, soul-touching scores. Backed by Ashwini Dutt’s Vyjayanthi Movies, in association with Swapna Cinema, Anandi Arts, Concept Films, and Zee Studios South, the film looks poised for a grand Christmas 2025 release that could easily be one of Telugu cinema’s big year-end events.
With its intense visuals, evocative premise, and an underdog story set against the backdrop of colonial India, Champion is shaping up to be a cinematic knockout. If the teaser lives up to its hype, this might just be the sports saga that redefines the genre for Telugu audiences.
