The film, tentatively titled VenkyAnil3 x SVC 58, is being produced under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations. The production banner shared the update on their X page, posting, “The ex-cop kicks off his duty with full energy. Venkatesh joins the sets of VenkyAnil3. The shoot of this triangular crime entertainer is happening at a rapid pace in Pollachi.” The makers also shared a small video from the shooting location.

The film also stars Meenakshi Chaudhary and Aishwarya Rajesh in prominent roles. Bheems Ceciroleo is the music director for the film. The cinematography and editing will be helmed by Sameer Reddy and Tammiraju, respectively. S Krishna and G Adhinarayana are the co-writers. V Venkat is the action director.

VenkyAnil3 x SVC 58, which went on the floors earlier in July, has been scheduled to release on the occasion of Sankranthi next year.

Coincidentally, Venkatesh also completed 38 years in the Telugu film industry on Wednesday.
