The film, starring Rishabh Shetty in the lead role, is set for a humongous release on October 2nd all over Telugu states because of the massive expectations in trade circles and among moviegoers. The first part saw a soaring success in Tollywood despite Rishabh Shetty’s unfamiliarity with Telugu audiences.

Now, the makers are going all out to ensure that this prequel opens big by cashing on the solid pre-release hype.
