Background

This is the first movie which casts actor Ravi Teja with actress Trisha Krishnan. This has been a much anticipated combination by many, including the hero Ravi Teja.

Vinayak to tell the hero he must be more original, genuine, and enthusiastic about this present venture. Meanwhile, Trisha is busy with two films simultaneously after the success of Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule. One of these films is Krishna and the other is Bujjigadu, starring Prabhas, filming mainly in her hometown and residence Chennai.
