T-Series acquired the music rights for Rs 8 crore. The satellite rights fetched Rs 9 crore for Hindi, Rs 8 crore for Telugu and Rs 5 crore for other languages. At a recent film event, producer Maitri Ravi declared the film a hit.

Produced jointly by Mythri Movie Makers and T-Series, the historical action drama has a runtime of 179 minutes and was released in theatres on October 16.

Set in Rayalaseema during the Madras famine of 1876-1878, the story shows the impact of British rule. It follows a horse-riding warrior who rebels against the authorities and leads the local resistance. Vijay Deverakonda's next film is 'Rowdy Janardhana'.
