Earlier, a poster depicting the star in his uniform was unveiled on the eve of his birthday. Speaking about the film during the  Maharshi  promotions, the actor said he wanted to break out of his cycle of intense films. Times Now quoted the actor as saying, “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.” Check out the film’s poster
