The film is directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by veteran actor Mohan Babu. It is based on the legendary tale of Kannappa, a devoted follower of Lord Shiva in Hindu mythology. The film stars Vishnu Manchu in the lead role, along with Mohan Babu, R. Sarathkumar, Arpit Ranka, Kaushal Manda, Rahul Madhav, Devaraj, Mukesh Rishi, Brahmanandam, Raghu Babu, Preity Mukhundhan, and Madhoo. The film also features special cameos by Mohanlal, Prabhas, Kajal Aggarwal, and Akshay Kumar.
Earlier, at the teaser launch, Vishnu spoke about how the film is a personal connection saying, "This film is not just a project for me; it's a personal journey. I am currently visiting all the Jyotirlingas across India, and I've felt a deep, spiritual bond with the story of Kannappa. It's a tale of unwavering faith and sacrifice that touches the soul. Having icons like Akshay Kumar, Mohanlal, and Prabhas join us on this journey gives me immense pride, because we believe this story, filled with devotion and divine power, should reach every person across the world. It's a message that transcends borders and speaks to the heart of humanity."
