The film marks Malayalam star Dulquer Salman’s Tollywood debut under Hanu Raghavapudi's direction. The glimpse video which was unveiled in April this year, hinted that actor Rashmika will be introduced as a character with shades of Lord Hanuman, a hindu mythological figure, who brings together the protagonists Rama and Sita. The story is inspired from Hindu epic Ramayana.
While unveiling the glimpse video earlier, Dulquer extended his gratitude to the cast and crew. “The stunning and headstrong Sita to my Ram @mrunalthakur, the fireball rebel Afreen @rashmika_mandanna & the fearless and galant Vishnu Sir played by the gentleman actor, my beloved @sumanth_kumar Anna amongst others.
