When director Puri Jagannadh announced his next film with Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi, it surprised the trade and fans. Moreso because many looked at their collaboration as 'unusual' given their respective styles of work. Also, since Vijay hasn't had a straight Telugu film hitherto, the project quickly garnered a lot of attention. And with names like Tabu, Samyuktha and Duniya Vijay joining the cast, the project had slowly turned out to be all the more exciting.
