“Sathyaraj will be playing Mahesh’s father. Since the makers are promoting the film as a Tamil-Telugu bilingual, they felt Sathyaraj’s presence in a major role will appeal to Tamil audiences,” a source from the film’s unit told IANS.
To be directed by Srikanth Addala, the film will go on floors from June. It features Rakul Preet Singh and Praneetha Subhash in lead roles.
