The theatrical trailer of director Puri Jagannadh's upcoming film "Loafer", which marks Varun Tej's entry into mainstream films, has failed to impress the audiences.

Varun Tej, the son of Chirnajeevi's brother Nagababu, made his acting debut with "Mukunda", which failed to do well at the box office. Some people advised him to take to mainstream films. But he deliberately avoided it because he was not sure of doing mass-pleasing films at the beginning of his career.

His second film "Kanche" was experimental, did very well at the box office and got him a big break. Mega family fans were curious to know what kind of script he has chosen for his next film. The trailer of his third outing "Loafer" shows he has chosen a mainstream flick.

Going by the trailer, "Loafer" is a routine commercial entertainer with a tried-and-test script. The video shows Varun Tej playing a mass-pleasing role in a film made in the regular Puri Jagannath style. The movie has all the masala ingredients like romance, action, comedy and family drama.

The trailer of "Loafer" released on the official YouTube channel of Puri Jagannath on 8 November. The 2.06-minute video has been viewed by 115,734 people on the popular video-sharing website. It has got 1,598 likes and 469 dislikes within 24 hours of its release. Nearly, 200 people have commented on the clip, most of which are mixed responses to it. Here are some comments:
