Produced by Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas, and presented by Srikara Studios, the film promises a full-blown transformation, both in tone and performance.

Directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar, the film hit theatres on April 10 with modest expectations but failed to make a mark at the box office, ending up as a commercial disappointment.- Ends
