The movie revolves around Tiger Nageswara Rao, a thief of Stuartpuram in the 1970s. He was known for cunningly slipping away from police custody and his great escape from a Chennai jail in the 1970s earned him the title of 'Tiger'. Nupur Sanon and Gayathri Bharadwaj will also be taking on pivotal roles with Ravi Teja. 

Anupam Kher recently wrapped up the shooting schedule for the film and shared glimpses alongside the cast and crew. Penning a note for the team, he wrote, "And it is a #wrap for me for my Telugu film #TigerNageshwarRao directed by @DirVamsee and produced by @AAArtsOfficial!
