Speaking about the film during Maharshi promotions, the actor had said, “My previous outings were very intense projects. So, once I wanted to do a full-length entertainer like Dookudu, I thought to come out from my comfort zone. It would be a refreshing start for me as well. That’s why I selected Anil Ravipudi’s script. The movie is a crucial subject with a blend of entertainment and message.” Sarileru Neekevvaru will face a box office clash with Rajinkanth’s Darbar , that is also scheduled to release during Pongal 2020.
