Although the title has been kept under wraps, the scale and vision of the project has already generated strong industry buzz.
Pre-production for the Telugu-Hindi bilingual film is going on in full swing, and the makers have started looking for a powerful female lead opposite Kiran Abbavaram, who is said to play an important role in the mythological universe of the film.
The film is being made on a grand scale, blending mythology, fantasy and cutting-edge visual effects. Producer-writer Keerthan, who has carved a niche for himself in the world of advertising with visually compelling storytelling, has begun intensive preparation for the film’s large-scale, VFX-driven mythological sequences. Sources reveal that the team is working meticulously to ensure that the film provides a never-before-seen visual experience to the audience.
Construction of the grand sets is expected to begin soon, with an extensive shooting schedule planned across the historical landscapes of Kerala, Kodaikanal, Karnataka, Western Ghats and Hampi locations, which promises to enhance the mystical and epic tone of the narrative.
The makers are targeting a September start for principal photography, with a clear vision of creating a cinematic spectacle rooted in mythology and with contemporary scale and technical finesse.
