Stay tuned!!,” the tweet from the production house Dwaraka Creations read. A poster revealed by the team indicates an injured palm with blood stains and mud raising from the ground.

Reports suggest Miryala Ravinder’s brother-in-law will be making his acting debut with the project. While there’ll be several expectations from the director and the producer after hits Narappa, Akhanda, the team is working round the clock to ensure that fans won’t be displeased. Dwaraka Creations, the banner, had also produced films lie Sahasam Swasaga Sagipo, Jaya Janaki Nayaka previously.

While Srikanth Addala is conventionally known for his family dramas and light-hearted romances like Mukunda, Sitamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Kotha Bangaru Lokam, he reinvented himself with an action drama like Narappa a few years ago. Will this project help him sustain his momentum? More updates about the cast, crew and shoot details will be out shortly.
