Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Nagarjuna himself expressed his excitement about the character, saying that everyone had told him he was "made for a very charming villain." The actor revealed that he had a "liberating experience" playing the evil role, even double-checking with the director Lokesh to ensure he was portraying the character as intended.

Both movies are expected to make a splash over the extended Independence Day weekend.
