The character poster sees Sethupathi with vibhuti or sacred ash on his forehead, carrying a sword. It is being rumoured that the actor will portray the role of a saint in the film.
Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is a highly anticipated movie as it chronicles the epic story of Kurnool-based freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy. It has also gained a lot of public attention as it is being directed by Surender Reddy, popular for helming the Kick franchise. The historical war film is being financed by Ram Charan at a whopping budget of Rs 150 crore.
The teaser of Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy was unveiled in August 2018. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan in a cameo role.
