The film will be helmed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced under Ava Entertainment and 24 Frames Factory. Social media had a mixed reaction to the news. While some were happy with Prabhas reprising the role, many felt it could be another disaster like Adipurush.

Prabhas is also reportedly playing Lord Vishnu in Kalki 2898 AD. Prabhas' role as Lord Ram in Adipurush faced a lot of backlash. From the dialogues, screenplay to the VFX; every aspect of the film was put to scrutiny. The makers even had to apologise for some of the dialogues that hurt the audience and re-worked on them.
