Prior to this project, filmmaker Gireesaaya spearheaded the 2019 Tamil movie Adithya Varma. The film was widely discussed since it was the Tamil remake of the popular Tollywood movie Arjun Reddy, which starred Vijay Devarakonda in a titular role. Adithya Varma also marked the debut of popular Kollywood actor Vikram’s son Dhruv Vikram.
The new project marks the first-time collaboration between Vaisshnav Tej and Gireesaaya. Vaisshnav Tej made his debut with romantic- drama Uppena that starred Krithi Shetty in the lead roles. It also featured popular Tollywood actor Vijay Sethupathi as the antagonist. Directed by debutant Bucchi Babu Sana, Uppena had a great run at the box office.
Meanwhile, Ketika Sharma will be seen in the upcoming Telugu movie Romantic directed by Anil Paduri and sports drama Lakshya.
