He later considered several young Telugu actors before casting Navdeep in the lead role, notwithstanding his limited recent film activity as a lead actor.Template:Citation needed The film was subsequently promoted as Navdeep's comeback as a lead actor,[4] with the term "Navdeep 2.0" being widely used.[5] The film received an A certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification.[6]
