Ravi Teja had earlier said that Tiger Nageswara Rao has real-life characters. He had told ANI, “Firstly, I am honoured that our film will also be released in sign language, allowing everyone to witness the dedication and training that went into preparing for my character, Tiger. We hope it translates well on the big screen, and audiences appreciate the story of India’s Biggest Thief.”

Throwing light on the film plot, director Vamsee had said, “He's a thief basically but who will write about a thief. Since he used to rob, nothing much is documented about him. But we all know that he was behind some of the biggest robberies."

Talking about her debut alongside Ravi Teja, Nupur had said, “I consider myself lucky. I feel that as an actor he is phenomenal, but I’m very blessed to have known him as a human because he is very humble. His energy is so infectious that you always have to be on your toes to perform in front of him.”
