Telugu Megastar Chiranjeevi had made a much-hyped comeback to the big screen in 2017 after a gap of 10 years with the film, Khaidi No 150. The remake of Tamil film, Kaththi, the movie was produced by his son, Ram Charan, and was a hit at the box office. It was also Chiranjeevi's 150th film as an actor. Now both father and son are going several levels bigger with Chiranjeevi's next, Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy. A biopic based on the legendary freedom fighter Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy from Rayalaseema, Sye Raa is believed to be one of the expensive films made in Telugu cinema.

Apart from Chiranjeevi who plays the lead, the movie boasts of a huge ensemble cast with some very prominent stars. Nayanthara is playing the female lead. Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan is playing an important role in the film, while Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi is making his Telugu debut.
