Earlier in May, Jr NTR announced his new project with director Koratala Siva. On Instagram, Jr NTR unveiled the teaser of the film, which is written and directed by Koratala. Presented by Nandamuri Kalyanram, produced by Mikkilineni Sudhakar and Hari Krishna K under the banners Yuvasudha Arts and NTR Arts respectively, the yet-to-be-titled film is scheduled to hit the floors soon.
In an interview with Koimoi, when asked about the upcoming film, Sonali said, “Who, me? No, I don’t know, please tell me about it. I have no clue what you are talking about. No listen, genuinely I am not. No I have no clue about this, so this is a fake news. Or if it is a news, it hasn’t reached me yet. This is sansanikhez (thriller).”
Speaking about her past projects and her OTT debut, Sonali said, "So now the thing is when I did fiction it was matter of reading it once or twice and I remembered the lines. So now this came back to me and now suddenly post the treatment there is this brain fog and I can’t remember it and that part intimidated me as I how am I going to remember my lines. Till the time I realized how did you deal with your illness, how did you deal with the Covid situation. So I said if I could adapt to those things, I can adapt here."
