Poster Hints at Mallakhamba Theme
The poster showcases a Mallakhamba with players climbing the pole, hinting that the film could be rooted in the traditional Indian sport. Mallakhamba traces its origins back to the history of India, and the film appears poised to bring this traditional discipline into the mainstream after years.
Originating from the Indian subcontinent, Mallakhamba is a traditional sport in which gymnasts perform aerial yoga and gymnastic postures using wrestling grips while manoeuvring around a stationary vertical pole.
