The film is directed by Sankalp Reddy and produced by Srinivasaa Chitturi under the Srinivasaa Silver Screen banner. In the movie, Ritu Varma will be seen portraying a tribal girl named Satyavathi.

The character appears to be bold and powerful, and the first look suggests that it will be a performance-driven role in what is being described as a high-budget project.

While the poster has offered a glimpse of Ritu’s role, the makers have chosen to keep most details about the film under wraps for now, adding to the intrigue surrounding the project.

Earlier this year, on Gopichand’s birthday, the team had already created excitement by unveiling a special poster and glimpse featuring the actor.
