Chiranjeevi, who made his social media debut in March, has been extremely busy on Twitter with his tongue-in-cheek replies to several members of Telugu film fraternity. He’s been leading from the front on behalf of Telugu film industry in its fight against coronavirus pandemic.

The film will have cinematography by Tirru while Sreekar Prasad will take care of editing. Suresh Selvarajan will handle the production design.
