Taking to X, Bachchan re-shared a post from the producers Vyjayanthi Movies celebrating one year anniversary of the film and wrote, “My honoured privilege to be asked to be a part of it, one that I admired and respected the blessings of Vijayanti films and the elders that ran and connected with it, ever to be a part of it any day again, IF THEY WERE TO EVER TO ASK.”

Written and directed by Nag Ashwin, the pan-Indian blockbuster also starred Prabhas, Deepika Padukone and Kamal Haasan in pivotal roles.
