His walking style and the manner in which he exudes swag while lighting a beedi leave his fans excited. They have been taking to social media to express their excitement of having got back their matinee idol in the way they wanted to see him on screen.

Ravi Teja will play a crucial character in the movie; his role is another highlight of the project which has music by Devi Sri Prasad. Shruti Haasan is teaming up with Chiranjeevi for the first time in a film.

Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar have produced Waltair Veerayya under the banner of Mythri Movie Makers. Arthur A Wilson and Niranjan Devaramane have handled cinematography and editing respectively for the movie which has action choreography helmed by Ram-Lakshman.

Kona Venkat and K Chakravarthy Reddy have penned the screenplay for the movie which will be Chiranjeevi's first outing in 2023. This will be followed by Meher Ramesh's Bholaa Shankar which will be released in April.
