In the recent past, according to several media reports, the project had started back in February, but due to the COVID-19 outbreak, it had to be put on hold. Before considering Priyanka Arul Mohan or Keerthy Suresh, the filmmakers were intending to cast Radhika Apte in this film, as she was also a part of the original film. There has been no official statement about the female lead of Andhadhun's Telugu remake yet, but the makers will soon make an official announcement. It has been said that Nithiin’s Sresht Movies will be bankrolling the film. The shoot will reportedly commence in June as the team is planning to release the film on Christmas 2020.
