Bankrolled by Vishnu Induri and Shaailesh R. Singh, Thalaivi a multi-lingual project, releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. It is not known whether they will be more dubbed versions later on. While the cinematography will be handled by Vishal Vittal, music will be composed by GV Prakash Kumar, with the movie being co-written by writer KV Vijayendra Prasad, who threw his weight behind Kangana Ranaut starrer Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi.
