Telugu actor Manchu Manoj has kick-started the promotion of his upcoming war movie Okkadu Migiladu, unveils first look poster on social media.

“A unique double role for the 1st time in my career. Catch me as Tiger Ltte & a student leader in #OkkaduMigiladu Dir by #AjayAndrewsNuthakki” wrote Manchu with the poster.

Manchu will be seen playing a double in the film, which is based on the Sri Lankan civil war that ravaged the island nation for more than two decades.

The poster features the actor in a military outfit standing right in the middle of a battleground which is seemingly submerged with bullet casings as he looks up at the sky, which is on fire. It is said to be inspired by the real-life incidents that unfolded in the 1990s putting the lives of about 15 lakh refugees in danger.

In Okkadu Migiladu, Manoj plays Velupillai Prabhakaran, the founder of militant organisation Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam or LTTE.

Director Ajay Andrews Nuthakki, has promised that with an intense performance and hard-hitting dialogues, Okkadu Migiladu will be the best film in Manoj’s career so far.
