While Amitabh is believed to be playing Chiranjeevi’s mentor, Sudeep will be seen as a character called Avuku Raju, perhaps a warlord. Vijay Sethupathi will play a character called Raaja Paandi. Tamannaah will play a character called Lakshmi while Nayanthara will be seen playing Queen Siddhamma.

For Excel Entertainment this will be the second time they will be distributing a south Indian film. They had successfully distributed Kannada film KGF, starring actor Yash in the lead.

Chiranjeevi has been keen on playing a historical character for a long time. On signing the project, Chiranjeevi has said, “It has always been my dream to play Bhagat Singh. Despite being offered the role back then, I couldn’t play it for several reasons and it was later played by several of my counterparts. It was played by several actors across languages. I regret missing out on an opportunity to play the role because I don’t think anyone wants to make a film on him today.”
