Also part of the cast are Samantha, Dulquer Salmaan and Arjun Reddy fame Vijay Deverakonda.
The latest is that, the actress Shalini Pandey of Arjun Reddy might also play a role in this Savithri biopic. If this gets a positive confirmation, the Arjun Reddy pair of Vijay Deverakonda and Shalini will be back for this big biopic film by Nag Ashwin.
