Plans are on to release this film for summer next year.

The muhurat was a well-attended event with ace producer Allu Aravind sounding the clapboard first and Dil Raju switching on the camera. Reports suggest that it is a sports drama but no further details about the story are confirmed as of now.
Naga Shaurya was last seen in Oh Baby starring Samantha in the lead. The film turned out to be a box-office success with positive reviews pouring in. Directed by Nandini Reddy, Oh Baby is the official remake of the South Korean comedy-drama Miss Granny. The story is about a woman in her 70s who finds herself magically in the body of her 20-year-old self after having herself photographed at a mysterious photo studio. Samantha played the younger version and veteran actor Lakshmi played the senior version in the film.
