Script work is already completed and the makers initially considered Malayalam star Mammootty for the lead role. However it is now heard that makers changed their plans and contacted King Nagarjuna for the lead role. 

Inside talk is Nagarjuna too gave green signal but set a condition that the film shouldn't release during 2019 elections so as not to drag him into unnecessary political controversy. It has to be seen how Akkineni fans and political parties react to Nag as YSR.
