Earlier, we reported that character actor Dhanraj will be making his directorial debut with a Tamil-Telugu bilingual headlined by Samuthirakani. The makers of the film have announced that they will commence the film's principal production on November 9. The untitled film is produced by Prudvi Polavarapu under the banner Slate Pencil Stories. The film is presented by Prabhakar Aripaka. The film's shoot will be taking place in Hyderabad for now. 

Samuthirakani and Dhanraj will be playing a  father-son duo in this film. Moksha, Harish Uttaman, Prudhvi, Ajay Ghosh, Pramodini, Lavanya Reddy, Chitram Sreenu, and Rocket Raghava form the film's supporting cast. 

Samuthirakani and Dhanraj have previously worked together on Siva Prasad Yannala's Telugu-Tamil directorial Vimanam. While Samuthirakani played the film's protagonist, Dhanraj played his neighbour and friend. Interestingly, Shiv Prasad Yanala has penned the story for Dhanraj's directorial.

Along with a heartfelt father-son story, the makers also promise a unique, hitherto unheard-of concept anchoring the story. Arun Chiluveru is the music director of the film, with cinematography by Durga Prasad and editing by Marthand K. Venkatesh.
