Meanwhile, Prashanth Neel is best known for directing the KGF franchise and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire starring Prabhas. The actor-director duo is also expected to reunite for the film's sequel, Salaar: Part 2 – Shouryaanga Parvam.

Kantara: Chapter 1 actor Rukmini Vasanth has also reportedly joined NTRNeel. Further updates about the cast are yet to be unveiled by the producers – Mythri Movie Makers and NTR Arts.
