  Charan reportedly played dual role as a father and son. Shankar complimented that Charan had a "suppressed explosive energy" within, further adding "His performance reflects this; even when he subtly conveys something, you feel a power surging, ready to explode. He knows where to keep it low-key and how to unleash this energy when the scenes require it from him."
  
  In late February, it was reported that South Korean actress Bae Suzy would play the female lead pairing opposite Charan, in her Indian film debut. Afterwards, Rashmika Mandanna was considered to play the female lead, before Kiara Advani was finalized for that role in July 2021; this would mark her second collaboration with Charan after Vinaya Vidheya Rama (2019). Anjali was cast in a pivotal role, while Sunil, Srikanth, Jayaram, and Naveen Chandra were all confirmed to be a part of the film during their presence at the puja ceremony. S. J. Suryah was confirmed to be part of the film in September 2022, playing the antagonist.
