Promotion
Makers shared trailer last November, title track on Wednesday
Besides the aforementioned actors, the film also has Sathyaraj, Rao Ramesh, and Anasuya Bharadwaj in pivotal roles.
Jakes Bejoy has composed its music, while Karm Chawla has cranked the camera.
The makers had released an engaging trailer of the film in November last year, which garnered over 4 million views in just 24 hours!
They also dropped the film's title track on Wednesday.
Information
What about the film's OTT release?
The 4.40-minute-long track has words penned by the late legendary lyricist Sirivennela Seetharama Sastry, while Bejoy and Hemachandra have done the vocals.
As far as the film's OTT release is concerned, reports suggest that top Telugu streamer aha has bagged the rights.
However, nothing has been made official on that front. If at all, Pakka Commercial might hit aha somewhere around July.
