Announcing the launch on Twitter, the production house confirmed that Ashwath Marimuthu, who debuted with the Tamil original, will be directing the Telugu version as well.
Oh My Kadavule, a romantic fantasy, released on February 14 and featured actors Ashok Selvan and Ritika Singh in the lead, with Vijay Sethupathi playing an extended cameo. The project will feature Sen in the lead role, with Tharun Bhascker writing the dialogues.

The film revolves around the relationship of a young married couple- Arjun and Anu (played by Selvan and Singh)- who have been best friends since childhood. The two however, are unable to find a romantic spark in their relationship and end up filing for divorce. A divine intervention occurs in Arjun’s life as Kadavul or God (played by Vijay Sethupathi) gives Arjun a second chance. What happens post this meeting with god, forms the rest of the story.
