Apparently, the script was originally pitched to Jr NTR a few years ago. However, for reasons unknown, the project never took off and both of them got busy with their respective commitments. Notably, this film was originally titled Fighter.

Vijay also has a yet-untitled Telugu project with filmmaker Indraganti Mohan Krishna in the pipeline. Meanwhile, recent reports suggest that Vijay is all set to produce content for streaming platforms. As per a report by Telugu 360, Vijay has plans to bankroll a few digital shows for leading streaming platforms. He is said to have already given his nod for a show which will be directed by KVR Mahendra, who launched Vijay’s brother Anand in Dorasaani.

Apparently, Vijay is very impressed with Mahendra’s script. The casting process will take a few months. If everything works out as planned, this show will be made for Aha, the Telugu-exclusive OTT platform.
