Rao Bahadur is all set to premiere on Netflix on July 31. Vikas Muppala, Bala Parasar, Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, and Master Kiran appear in key roles in the film. An excerpt from CE's review of the film reads, "The story revolves entirely around Ramappa's disturbed mental state. Haunted by suspicion, he frequently imagines conversations with people who aren't even present. The first half largely focuses on how his condition affects those around him, including his loyal servant Achamma, his elder son Lavana and Doctor Achari."
The film features cinematography by Kartik Parmar, music composed by Smaran Sai, and production design by Rohan Singh. It is presented by Mahesh Babu and Namrata Shirodkar under GMB Entertainments and jointly produced by A+S Movies and SriChakraas Entertainments.
