This partnership marks a reunion, as they previously joined forces for the blockbuster film Godfather (2022), a remake of the Malayalam sensation Lucifer (2019) featuring Mohanlal.
Script finalized after changes; Chiranjeevi gave approval
The script for the new film is written by BVS Ravi in collaboration with Raja, reported Telugu360.
