For once, we have a story-based period film whose heroism is not larger-than-life but comes with a dash of realism.  The action sequences may still be unrealistic, though.  

Ram Charan as the speech-impaired Chitti Babu can be trusted to deliver a charming act.  And knowing well Sukumar's style, expect a lot of situational comedy.  

Sibling sentiment is a mainstay, it seems.  Aadhi Pinisetty as Chitti Babu's bespectacled brother has a performance-oriented role for sure.  And as Chiranjeevi said at the pre-release event, his character dies.  

Samantha Akkineni as Rama Lakshmi is in for some harsh treatment from her crush.  And since she is sobbing hard, expect some heart-rending moments as well.  

Jagapathi Babu seems to be a feudal lord, with Ajay Ghosh being his heavy henchman.  In the allegorical stage ('rangasthalam'), he is the unchallenged, undisputed villain.  Prakash Raj as an idealistic character has a significant place in the story, although not much run-time.  The trailer doesn't quite reveal anything about 'Atthamma' Anasuya Bharadwaj's role.  

Rathnavelu's frames, Ramakrishna's set, and Devi Sri Prasad's background music should make it a treat.  Come March 30, we will know how far the film will reach the expectations.
