A source close to the project said, "2023 was an eventful year for Agastya as not just did he make his acting debut with The Archies, but also signed on for a Sriram Raghavan film. Agastya has attended several acting workshops with Sriram and specially trained acting coaches to polish his body language and step into the shoes of India's most celebrated war hero, Arun Khetarpal."

After months of prep, Sriram and Agastya are now all set to commence the journey of bringing the heroic tale to the big screen."
