There is nothing official as of regarding the film yet, neither any statement has been made by director or the star, but the film is said to be on the lines of a social subject. The recent news here is that the actress has been approached to play lead in the film.
According to a report in TOI, Aishwarya has been approached to play the female lead in the film, but is yet to sign on the dotted line. There is no official confirmation regarding the same as of yet. Earlier, actress Nayanthara's name was considered for the same role, but as she has worked with Chiranjeevi earlier in Sye Raa, the director wanted a fresh and popular face for his film.

The Tollywood superstar will also be seen sharing the screen with Vijay Sethupathi, Sudeep, Nayanthara, Jagapathi Babu, Anushka Shetty and Tamannaah Bhatia.
