In April, the team unveiled a striking teaser poster featuring Kiran as a lone warrior in a mystical forest beneath a towering celestial face. Blending themes of divinity, destiny, and self-discovery, the artwork hinted at a larger-than-life cinematic spectacle rooted in Indian spiritual mythology while carrying a strong Pan-India visual appeal.

Welcoming Srikanth on board, producer Prerna Arora said, “We are delighted to have Srikanth Puppala direct this ambitious project. He has spent years honing his craft in direction and story development, working alongside some of the most respected filmmakers in Indian cinema, including Rishab Shetty on Kantara: Chapter 1, Pawan Kumar, Praveen Sattaru, Kishore Kumar Pardasani (Dolly), and Teja.”

She further added, “Having recently served as Chief Associate to Rishab Shetty on Kantara: Chapter 1, Srikanth has demonstrated his ability to handle stories mounted on a grand scale while preserving their cultural authenticity. As he embarks on his directorial journey, we are confident that his fresh perspective and creative conviction will bring something truly special to audiences across the country. We look forward to creating a memorable cinematic experience with Kiran Abbavaram in the lead.”

Vedang Raina has reacted on the comparisons with debutant Ahaan Panday, whose latest film Saiyaara has become a runaway success at the box office. He also spoke about his upcoming project with Imtiaz Ali. The internet is on fire with comparisons of you and the Saiyaara actor Ahaan Panday I haven’t gotten the chance to watch it yet, but I do want to watch it soon. Have heard great things. I think everyone has their own journey and there have been visual comparisons with many people as soon as I stepped into the industry.

I’m starting shoot for the project next month, but the major bulk of it will happen in October and November. It’s my only focus right now.
