Out to tell the legend of Baba Haathi Ram ji, a legendary devotee of Lord Venkateswara of Tirumala, K Raghavendra Rao is making a movie with Nagarjuna in an author-backed role. Songs recording, under the aegis of MM Keeravani, was begun in April.

Since the film will go on the floors this month, a set is being erected in Annapurna Studios. Most of the story is told in the backdrop of Tirumala forests. Thus, the set is said to be vast. Looks like there is going to be a lot of CGI involved.

Suman has been approached to play the role of Lord Venkateswara. If he comes on board, it will be the return of the Annamayya combination. Mahesh Reddy, who produced Shirdi Sai, will produce this film. Nagarjuna, KRR, and Keeravani have come together after Annamayya, Sri Ramadasu, Shirdi Sai, and now for this film.

The film is based on a mix of fact and fiction.
