One of the characters will see the Real Star playing the role of a philosopher. Uppi has played dual roles earlier as well, and was even seen in triple characters in films like Hollywood, Superstar, Godfather and Upendra Matte Ba. The makers have brought on board heroines Sonal Monterio and Meghana Raj as female leads.

The film also sees the collaboration of Upendra and music director Gurukiran, who will compose the songs and score the background score. Bharat Parashuram, who has previously worked in the Birbal Trilogy, has been signed up as the film’s cinematographer.

Film’s title may be either Buddhivanta 2 or Pithamaha The team is considering two title possibilities­—Buddhivantha 2 or Pithamaha. While one of Upendra’s previous films was titled Buddhivantha, a film titled Pithamaha, starring Rajesh and Ravichandranwas, helmed by KSL Swamy was released in 1985. An official confirmation of the title will be made on the muhurath day.
