The film is being produced jointly by Max Studios and Showing Business. Rajamouli released the announcement video on his Twitter account on September 19, 2023. “The story touched my heart when I first heard it. Making a biopic is not easy, especially one about the Father of Indian Cinema. But our team is ready,” said Rajamouli.
