The movie opened to mixed responses from audiences and critics. Although the makers had already announced a sequel, its future now seems to depend on the response to the first part.
Speaking at today’s success meet, producer Naga Vamsi said that the team was aware that they were making an experimental film. Talking about the sequel, the young filmmaker said that they would first observe the audience response in theatres and later on Netflix before deciding whether to take the story forward.
So, while the sequel has been announced, its actual development will largely depend on the film’s theatrical and OTT performance. Sivaji, Vasuki, Srinivas Gavireddy, Kalyan Shankar and others played key roles in the movie. Hesham Abdul Wahab composed the music.
