The screenplay of the film is penned by KV Vijayendra Prasad of 'Baahuali' fame and is produced by ZEE studios, Kamal Jain and Nishant Pitti. 

The film is slated to release on Republic Day 2019. The film will, therefore, clash with Hrithik Roshan's 'Super 30'. And owing to the tension between the two stars, it will be interesting to see which film will shine at the box-office.
