“This film is inspired by Shankar Nag’s Malgudi Days (based on RK Narayan’s work). The fictional South Indian town of Malgudi in the film is the kind that will have a pan India appeal. We set up around 19 sets for the film and over 90% was shot on the sets in Bengaluru. The rest was filmed in Bijapur and the northern parts of Karnataka. And it was when we started the film and released the first teaser that we thought we should give the film a pan India release,” Rakshit added.
The film’s Telugu trailer was launched by Nani. The producers, who were also present at the launch, said, “This was originally supposed to be a small budget movie. But the story and script really appealed to us, and we just went with it and did not compromise on anything.”
Director Sachin said, “Three years is a long time to work on a project. The film is a culmination of a lot of people’s hard work. I am excited for everyone to see it.”
