The film has already created quite a buzz in the South, with [Ajay Bhupathi](https://clapnumber.com/celebrity/ajay-bhupathi) debuting as a producer in this project along with Swathi Gunupati and Suresh Varma M.

Payal’s character will be remembered for a long time after watching this movie in the theaters. It’s a new-genre film that’s never been featured in Indian Cinema. There are 30 characters in the story, and every character has got a certain place in the larger scheme of the film."

Producers Swathi Gunupati and Suresh Varma M said, "Just like Indu from RX100, Ajay Bhupati’s ‘[Mangalavaaram](https://clapnumber.com/movies/telugu/mangalavaaram)’ Shailaja will also be remembered for a long time.
