 Harish Shankar has made significant modifications to the original storyline to better cater to the Telugu audience, adding new twists and turns.

In just a few minutes of footage, we see a distressed Jagapathi Babu seemingly plotting his villainous schemes against the protagonist.

Bhagyashri Borse, known for Yaariyan 2 (2023) and Chandu Champion (2024) will be making her acting debut as the female lead in Mr Bachchan, which has the tagline, “Naam Tho Suna Hoga”.

Directed by Harish Shankar and bankrolled by Panorama Studios, People Media Factory banner, and T Series, Mr Bachchan is Ravi Teja’s third collaboration with the filmmaker, following Shock (2006) and Mirpakay (2011).

The first look of Mr Bachchan, released last year, featured Ravi Teja riding a scooter, sporting shades and a haircut reminiscent of Bachchan’s 1970s films. The background of the poster showcases a silhouette of the iconic actor’s face with a crowd standing in front of a cinema hall named ‘Natraj’.

The technical crew of Mr Bachchan features notable talents such as Ayananka Bose for cinematography and Mickey J Meyer of Mahanati (2018)-fame, as the music director.

The film’s editing is handled by Ujwal Kulkarni, with production design by Brahma Kadali.

Screenplay writing credits go to Ramesh Reddy, Sathish Vegesna, Praveen Varma, Dattatreya, and Tanvi Kesari. Action choreography is led by Ram Laxman and Pruthvi.
