‘Sittharala Sithravathi..Unnapatuna Poye Mathi..Soopulo Pacha Jenda Ethi..Nannu Chesinave Chatrapathi..’ the opening lines reflect the playful mood of the song. While it initially has a melodic base, it picks up steam later with a riveting musical hook and transitions into a foot-tapping mass number. Both the lead actors respond well to Sekhar master’s classy dance choreography.

Lines like ‘Ninnu Koragane Puttesthi..Puttagane Ottesthi..Puvvulo Chuttesi..Nannu Nenu Neeke Ichesthi..Chethilona Cheyyesthi..’ provide a folksy touch to the song, which has the charm to appeal the masses and connoisseurs alike. The song, which brings GV Prakash’s versatility to the fore, has entirely been filmed in international locations, which enhance its visual appeal.

Srikara Studios is presenting the film which has two cinematographers - Dudley and Arthur A Wilson. Navin Nooli is the editor of the project while AS Prakash is the art director. Aditya Music has acquired the music rights. GV Prakash Kumar is composing for another biggie - Tiger Nageswara Rao, the pan-Indian film starring Ravi Teja. He earlier collaborated with Aadikeshava makers for Sir.
