The film’s second shooting schedule is currently happening in Karnataka. A behind-the-scenes picture shared by Prashanth Neel’s wife Likitha Reddy recently gave fans a peek into the energy on set. She captioned it “A mad set with my mad man”, giving a fun glimpse of how intense and passionate the shoot is.
The film is being produced on a massive budget by Mythri Movie Makers’ Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Kumar. Music is being composed by Ravi Basrur, known for his powerful background scores in KGF and Salaar. While the female lead is yet to be officially confirmed, reports suggest that Rukmini Vasanth could be seen opposite Jr NTR in this film.
