The glimpse highlights the intensity of wrestling. It begins with a strong voiceover: “Kusthi (wrestling) is not a sport where you carry a bat and face an oncoming ball. This is a sport where you pledge your life and stand against death. Now tell me, are you going to get into the ring or are you opting out?” In the end, Charan's character replies, “The game is my pride.”

The film is directed by Buchi Babu Sana and marks his first collaboration with Ram Charan. It also stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead and Shiva Rajkumar in an important role. Other actors in the film include Divyendu Sharma, Jagapathi Babu, and Boman Irani.
