Apart from humour and emotions, the movie is expected to have a significant dose of action, which Anil has kept under wraps for now.

Adding to the excitement, music director Bheems Ceciroleo, who is riding high on the success of Sankranthiki Vasthunnam, has already composed two tunes for the film.
