The film, also featuring Mrunal Thakur, is a remake of the critically acclaimed Telugu film of the same name starring Nani. With the film postponed indefinitely, rumours about the film releasing on the OTT platform arose. Although the makers are yet to announce a new release, many suggested that the makers would eventually opt for an OTT release.
