Known
as
a
writer
for
few
blockbuster
Hindi
films
such
as
Bajrangi
Bhaijaan
and
Manikarnika,
he
made
few
changes
to
the
script
according
to
the
tastes
and
sensibilities
of
the
Hindi
audience
and
he
has
extended
the
heroine's
role.
These
four
forces
are
coming
together
to
translate
this
project
into
a
magnum
opus.
The
makers
had
erected
a
massive
village
set
in
Hyderabad.
However,
the
set
was
damaged
due
to
heavy
rains
in
the
month
of
April.
Art

Babu
has
reconstructed
the
set.
The
yet

action
entertainer
will
be
launched
in
a
grand
ceremony
in
Hyderabad
tomorrow
and
the
regular
shoot
will
be
commencing
