Popular choreographer Vijay Binni who worked on many noted movies is making his directorial debut with the movie billed to be a Mass Jatara. Legendary composer MM Keeravani who provided many chartbuster albums for Nagarjuna and won the Oscar Award and National Award for his work in RRR will be scoring the music for the movie.
