The trailer of the much-awaited film Ghost has been released, not just in Kannada but also in Telugu. In it, superstar Shivarajkumar, who is usually seen in Sandalwood, takes on the role of a gangster and declares, "This is not a tale of building an empire, but of bringing it to ruins."

Shivarajkumar's fierce appearance in the trailer has left the audience thrilled, and fans are calling it "fire." The trailer begins with a message urging viewers to wear headphones for the best experience. Shivarajkumar's powerful line, "War, the downfall of the human world, is more terrifying than the empires we've built. Empires may fade from history, but I've never forgotten those who brought destruction upon them," sets the tone right from the start.
