Bollywood actress Ananya Panday is playing the female lead in the film, which will mark her debut in the South film industry. The trailer of the film was released on July 21 and has been receiving a good response from the viewers.
The cast of the film is busy in promotions and as a part of a campaign, fans have put a huge 75-feet cut-out near Sudarshan Theatre on RTC Crossroad in Hyderabad.
