Set in 1992, against the rural backdrop of Madugula village in Visakhapatnam near the Andhra–Odisha border, the story unfolds during a time of heightened Naxalite activity.

Joining him is Mahima Nambiar as the leading lady, along with powerhouse performers like Radhika Sarathkumar, Shine Tom Chacko, and Upendra Limaye in pivotal roles.
On the technical front, Sai Sriram’s cinematography adds visual depth, while Vijay Bulganin’s background score heightens both emotion and tension.
