Speaking at an event in February, Chiranjeevi said, “It’s going to be a laugh riot from start to finish. I’m attempting to be a full-fledged entertainer after so many years, and I’m eagerly looking forward to it, I’m always thinking of going onto the sets and how I will enact the scenes. Whenever Anil comes home to narrate the scenes, we both end up laughing out loud.”
