With the same title name, he changed the script suitable for this decade. The script was written in 2010 and he was on a hunt for lead actors suitable to reprise the role of Nag.

Uday Prakash came up with a unique idea of finding his lead actor by creating an online poll. It resulted in actor Ajay Rao being the unanimous choice and he was signed on for the same.
