It features Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruti Haasan in lead roles. The movie also features Jagapathi Babu, Tinnu Anand, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy and Ramachandra Raju in pivotal roles.

For the first time, Prabhas has teamed up with Prashanth Neel and Prithviraj Sukumaran.

Recently, Prithviraj said he has recovered from his knee injury and will return to work with ‘100 per cent’ energy.
