According to earlier reports from OTTplay, the forthcoming film featuring Chiranjeevi is a gangster drama set in the 1990s.

A first-look image showcasing Chiranjeevi with a bloodied hand has been unveiled, much to the excitement of the younger audience who admire the megastar.

Srikanth Odela's inaugural film, Dasara, achieved remarkable success, presenting Nani in a fresh and intense role.

At present, Chiranjeevi's unprecedented remuneration is a topic of extensive discussion, as it represents the highest fee of his career. It is noteworthy that Chiranjeevi was the pioneer in the Indian film industry to demand ₹1 crore for a Telugu film, and his current fee is once again generating significant buzz.
