Rowdy Janardhana's first look shows Vijay covered in blood and looking unrecognisable. He is seen in thick hair and a moustache, shirtless and dressed in a dark lungi with a machete in his hand. In the video, he is seen hacking through men for standing up against him before he says, “Kalingapatnam lo intikokka l***akoduku nenu rowdy ni ani chepuku tirugutunnadu. Kaani inti peru ne rowdy ga marchukunnodu okkade unnadu (Every son of a b***h in Kalingapatnam goes around calling himself a rowdy. But there’s only one who changed his surname to it).”

The dialogue apparently seems to be a reference to how he addresses his fans as Rowdy. Vijay then unveiled the film’s title and his character’s name as Rowdy Janardhana. Apart from a new look, the actor can also be seen shedding his trademark Telangana twang for a more rustic accent in the film. 

Shared the title announcement and first look on his Instagram handle, Vijay Deverakonda captioned it as, “The Biography of a Wounded man. in 1 year. RowdyJanardhana December 2026.”
