Speaking about the film, director Madhura Sreedhar was quoted by The Siasat Daily as saying, "Few called him a separate state visionary. Few called him a regional fanatic who created a wedge between Telugu people. Few called him a dictator in a democratic system. Others called him a protector of democracy with the dictatorial approach. Few called him a fighting force, few called him a hasty man. Few called him a political genius. But for the four crore Telangana people, he was the charioteer with a goal.. a great leader who made their dreams come true."
To be produced by Raj Kandukuri of Pelli Choopulu fame, the project will take off next year and is slated to release on February 17, 2018 on the eve of KCR's birthday.
However, there aren't information regarding the cast and crew of the film.
