Having recently completed the Italy schedule, Vanga is worried about shooting on the streets of Hyderabad.

“We have two-day schedule in Hyderabad, and we have to shoot on the roads. A few months ago, nobody bothered if we shot outdoor. However, post Pellichoopulu, Vijay has become the darling of the masses and people will mob us if we’re going to shoot with him on the streets,” he said.

Also starring Jia Sharma, Sanjay Swaroop and Gopinath Bhat, the film is produced by Vanga’s brother.

In the film, which will also feature dialogues in Tulu, Vijay plays a medical surgeon.
