Director Rahul Sankrityan, speaking to Hindustan Times, shared that Deverakonda plays a rural character from Rayalseema, a region in Andhra Pradesh known for its distinct culture and history “This is a rural character, which people have never seen Vijay in a rural character before. Vijay has done all Urban characters so far. In this, you will see Vijay in a completely new avatar as a rural guy and that too as a Rayalseema guy. Rayalseema is a particular region in Andhra Pradesh, which has some exclusive characteristics to it. Be it the slang or weather conditions, the culture, everything is going to be very different,” said Sankrityan.
