From then, fans have been eagerly awaiting the film. However, there have been a lot of changes that have taken place in the unit until now.

Last December, the makers released a hilarious teaser of the film, which they called a 'Pre-wedding video'. The pre-wedding video was released on the occasion of the birthday of the film's hero, Naveen Polishetty, last year.
The video clip that was released then showed guests who have gathered for Raju's wedding all set to eat food out of golden plates.
Just when a guest is about to take a bite of the sweet Kaju Kathili, a supervisor comes and snatches it out of his hand. He turns around miffed with his workers, because the Kaju Kathili has a silver foil on it instead of a gold foil. The worried guest says that he is okay with a silver foil but instead, the supervisor insists this cannot be as this is Raju's wedding and everything must be in gold.
The fun doesn't stop there. You then see Raju pretending to have a hilarious conversation with industrialist Mukesh Ambani about his son's wedding.
The makers used this teaser to announce that the film would release in 2025. However, now, the release date has again been pushed to January 14, 2026.
Directed by Maari, the film has cinematography by J Yuvraj and music by Mickey J Meyer. It has been produced by Suryadevara Naga Vamsi and Sai Soujanya under Sithara Entertainments and Fortune Four Cinemas.
