In the film, Sumanth plays an auto driver. “Usually, auto drivers are portrayed as mass characters, but many of them are actually innocent and soft. My character values friendship and family. There’s also an auto race sequence, for which I practiced specially,” he explained.

Though Sumanth directed his debut film, he chose to fully trust director Subhash for this project. “Subhash long worked very hard on the script and wanted to present it in his own style. Once I heard the story, I completely surrendered to his vision. I only told him to leave the promotions to me,” he said with a smile.

Sumanth also revealed that he had the opportunity to act in Raju Weds Rambaiwhich recently won the Gaddar Film Award. “Saailu narrated the story to me, and I really liked it. But since I had already done a Telangana-based film like Mem FamousI felt it might seem repetitive. I shared this with him. Later, Akhil did the film, and it worked well, bringing new talent into the industry,” he said.

Talking about his upcoming projects, Sumanth shared that one film has already been completed. “The details will be announced soon. I plan to do back-to-back films without taking long breaks from now on,” he concluded.
