Talking about his journey with Roberrt, Tharun said, “Most people are surprised about how we could finish such a big project in this time span, and many of them have given the credit to my planning. But I believe that planning is done by all the directors. However, it can be executed only when two people support it -- the hero and the producer. In this case,
I was lucky. Both Darshan and producer Umapathy trusted me, and stood by me.” The emotional action thriller, is being made with a huge budget and comes with a bevy of stars, including Jagapati Babu, who plays the antagonist, and Asha Bhat, who makes her Kannada film debut.
The cast also includes Vinod Prabhakar, Sonal Monteiro, Ravi Kishan, Chikkanna, and Shivaraj K R Pete who will appear in prominent roles.
