Film Details and Production Notes
- Plot and Cast: Set in the 17th-century Mughal Empire, the film follows Veera Mallu (Pawan Kalyan), a rebellious outlaw tasked with stealing the Koh-i-Noor diamond while leading a revolt against Emperor Aurangzeb (Bobby Deol). The cast includes Nidhhi Agerwal as Panchami, alongside Nargis Fakhri, Nora Fatehi, Anupam Kher, and others. Directed by Krish Jagarlamudi and A.M. Jyothi Krishna, the film has a U/A certification and a runtime of 2 hours and 42 minutes.
- Production Challenges Overcome: Filming, which began in September 2020, faced delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Pawan Kalyan’s political commitments as Andhra Pradesh’s Deputy Chief Minister, and complex VFX and color grading work. The shoot wrapped in May 2025, with Kalyan completing his dubbing in just four hours on May 29. The film’s budget exceeds ₹250 crore, making it Kalyan’s most expensive project to date.
