The shooting of the film came to a standstill in December after four members of the crew were tested COVID positive and the senior actor was admitted for a few days in Hyderabad for the monitoring of his blood pressure levels. He was later discharged on December 27. The senior actor who was expected to venture out in politics while announcing his plans to form a political party, announced two days prior to the big news that he won’t be venturing into politics, citing his health condition, the ongoing pandemic, and his inability to devote the required time for the endeavour as he has a lot of films lined up to be released this year. He had issued a statement on Twitter while making the shocking revelation about not entering into politics. “I regret to inform that I cannot enter politics. I alone know the pain I went through while announcing this decision. I will do whatever I can for the public," the statement read.
