October 20 launch planned in Hyderabad
The team is planning a launch and puja ceremony in Hyderabad on October 20. The date remains a reported plan, and details of the ceremony and full cast have not been announced. Several names are said to be under consideration for the female lead, but no actor has been confirmed. The launch could bring the first formal updates on the film’s cast and production.
