MOVIE PLOT - 

Set against a fading aristocracy, it follows a royal figure “stuck in the past”. The story blends psychological tension with dark humor and magical realism. Satyadev plays an aging aristocrat diagnosed with liver cancer who survives over a year - but his mind starts playing games, mixing fear with what he sees as enlightenment. 

DIRECTOR Venkatesh Maha spent 5 years developing the script, marking a shift from his naturalistic films like C/o Kancharapalem to something with “heightened visual layers”. 

SATYADEV’S transformation

To play the old aristocrat, Satyadev spent ∼5 hours daily in prosthetic makeup. He called it a chance to “disappear into the character completely”. First look shows him in regal purple kurta, turban, chunky rings, ornate necklace.
