The filmmakers took to social media on Saturday, July 31, to announce that Kiara is being paired opposite Ram Charan in the movie. Sharing the news with fans, Sri Venkateswara Creations, the production house bankrolling the movie, wrote, “Joining us on this super exciting journey is the talented and gorgeous @advani_kiara!
