Touted as a Telegu magnum opus, the film has reportedly been made under a huge budget of Rs 150 crore. Ram Charan, who also happens to be Chiranjeevi’s son, has bankrolled the project through Konidela Production Company. It is the second collaboration with his father after Khaidi 150 in 2017. Speaking about his decision to finance Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, Ram  revealed to _Firstpost_  that he wanted to produce the film to fulfill his father’s lifelong dream. “Once my dad told me, ‘You sported the warrior costume in your second film (Magadheera). But I’ve completed 150 films but didn’t get an opportunity to play such a character in my life’. He actually envied my role in Magadheera and from that day, I wanted to produce a film like Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy to fulfill his dream.” The drama is expected to release later this year in Telugu, and will be dubbed in Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam as well. Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy will be distributed in Hindi by AA Films and  Excel Entertainment .
