In Krish’s directorial flick, Rakul will be seen in the role of a shepherd. It is rumoured that the film is based on the Telugu author Sannapureddy Venkata Ramireddy’s novel Kondapolam. The novel is based in the Nallamala forests, where shepherds fought against the odds in order to save their cattle from invasive smugglers. Krish’s recently release NTR: Kathanayakudu starring Nandamuri Balakrishna, Vidya Balan, Nandamuri Kalyan Ram and Rana Daggubati, received negative reviews. However, the biopic flick turned out to be a box-office hit. The music of the film is composed by MM Keeravani.

Krish is popular for his works predominantly in Telugu and Hindi films. He has directed films such as Gamyam, Kanche, Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. The award-winning director has also appeared as an actor in Mahanati released in 2018.
