The film was the remake of 2018 sensational romantic drama '96' that featured Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha in the lead roles. Sharwanand reprised Vijay Sethupathi in the Telugu version.

'Maha Samudram' is an upcoming film by Ajay Bhupathi. The film is touted to star the 'Jaanu' pair Samantha and Sharwanand in the lead roles, but recently, reports suggested that Aditi Rao will be replacing Samantha in the film, but there have been no official announcements from the makers yet.
Recently, an online report suggested that Samantha has been replaced by Aditi due to the 'flop' of her latest flick and Aditi Rao voiced out for the Jaanu actress on this. "I genuinely feel this is important to say... a hit or flop cannot take away the credibility of an actor. Please, let’s not encourage this kind of thinking," stated Aditi.
