On its Twitter timeline, Lyca Productions said, "Excited to associate with Vyjayanthi Films and Swapna Cinema for Sita Ramam's Tamil Nadu Theatrical release."

Sita Ramam, a captivating love story set against the backdrop of the 1965 India-Pakistan war, has Dulquer Salmaan playing the character of Lieutenant Ram, an orphan, serving the nation in the snow-clad mesmerising terrains and gleaming lakes of Kashmir.

Pairing with Dulquer is Mrunal Thakur as Sita Mahalakshmi, the leading lady of the film, along with Rashmika Mandanna, in an impressive role.

The film is being presented by the 50-year-old Vyjayanthi Movies and produced by Ashwini Dutt for Swapna Cinema.

Sita Ramam additionally features Gautham Vasudev Menon, Sumanth, Bhumika Chawla, Prakash Raj, director Tharun Bhascker, dancer Rukmini Vijay Kumar, Sachin Khedekar, Murali Sharma and Vennela Kishore.

The technical crew consists of cinematography by PS Vinod and Vishal Chandrashekhar on the music. Kotagiri Venkateswara Rao is the editor.

Sita Ramam, made in Telugu, will be released in Tamil and Malayalam, too. This one is slated for release on August 5.

The team includes cinematographer P S Vinod and music director Vishal Chandrashekhar.

Sita Ramam is Dulquer’s second collaboration with Vyjayanthi Movies after the Savitri biopic, Mahanati aka Nadigaiyar Thilagam.

In an interview, Dulquer Salmaan said he selects his films, based on gut instinct. Reiterating that his priority will be Malayalam cinema, he added he looks at the director, and the team, before signing on the dotted line. "You feel at ease with them and there is a confidence level that is inspiring." Further, the actor said he likes to enjoy working in films that appeal to him, as well as ones that reach many people.
