The movie was originally being directed by Bala and was titled, Varma. However, due to creative differences, Bala moved away from the project and the entire film was replanned. The whole cast for the film was changed except for Dhruv who retained his lead role. Music director Radhan was also retained between the old and new version.

Both Arjun Reddy and Kabir Singh had exactly the same plots and, likely, Adithya Varma will also not stray away from the story either. The movie will be about a house surgeon who has aggressive tendencies that get him into trouble. It will then tell the story of how he falls in love and how he deals with his extreme personality. 

The cast of Adithya Varma began shooting in March of this year after Bala's version was scrapped. Adithya Varma is set to release on November 8, 2019. Famous actor Priya Anand will also feature in the film in a supporting role.
