Surendhar Reddy will be donning the directors’ robes for the film and he has done extensive research to get the story right.

Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy is the first Indian to revolt against the British rule. He revolted at least a decade before India's First War of Independence in 1857.

He was hanged to death on February 22, 1847. Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy controlled about 60 villages including Uyyalawada, Gulladurti, Harivaram, Narsipalle, Pampalle, Uppaluru, Koilakuntla and Kotthakota.
