The film weaves a narrative full of action, love, courage, and patriotism, as it follows the characters’ survival and their emotional struggles. The movie has generated interest with its catchy songs, including “Namo Namah Shivaya”, which has been especially praised for the dance performances by Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya. Other songs, like Bujji Thalli and Hilesso Hilessa have also gained popularity.
The movie is set for release on February 7, 2025. Alongside Sai Pallavi and Naga Chaitanya, the film also features Divya Pillai, Nithiin Prasanna, and others in important roles. The film’s budget has unexpectedly increased but the makers are optimistic about its success at the box office.
