On New Year's Day, the makers of the upcoming Naga Chaitanya-Venkat Prabhu film Custody shared a short glimpse of the film. From the video, which is less than 30 seconds, it's evident that the film will be high on action. It ends with a proper hero elevation shot for Naga Chaitanya, who looks convincing in an action avatar.

Custody, made as a Tamil-Telugu bilingual, has a solid star cast. While Arvind Swamy plays the antagonist, Krithi Shetty essays the female lead. Sarath Kumar, Sampath, Priyamani, Premgi Amaren, Premi Vishwanath, and Vennela Kishore also star in it.

The film has music composed by the father-son duo of Ilaiyaraaja and Yuvan Shankar Raja. It has cinematography and editing by SR Kathir and Venkat Raajen, respectively.

Srinivasaa Chitturi's Srinivasaa Silver Screen is backing the film, which is set to release in theatres on May 12, 2023.
