Introducing the team taking on the scary task of making this intimidating film.
So happy to have this firecracker global team working on this one with Shouryuv and his wild imagination and intense heart :)

Shouryuv is an original filmmaker of a truly original sort a painter of emotional intensity who feels like creating a full story entirely from scratch, his own heart. To him, making the movie would be no walk in the park, Vijay would suggest, depicting it as a “scary task,” demanding the actors and the crew elevate the basics. But what is remarkable about the announcement is the actor’s enthusiasm and dedication. Dedicated and ready to give his all to the project, Vijay hinted that his performance would tread new emotional and creative territory.
His passionate, passionately delivered message had only raised the bar for what VDxShouryuv could achieve. There’s an allusion to a “global team” that also hints at a movie that will likely cross conventional borders of a region or a nation. This could be either in cross-border filmmakers, production techniques or a story about the universal. Indian cinema’s trend toward international cooperation is developing these days, and this project seems well geared to match.
While very little about the movie still remains public; it must be a powerful and emotional film in full swing. With his dynamic screen presence, Vijay Deverakonda has become tremendously hungry to fill a role that requires as much vulnerability as muscle. Even the mystery and the energetic words "ROAR my friends" add more intrigue implying a film with which boldness is possible, as well as raw expression.
For some time there have been people discussing what within the movie an idea will be, with a lot of anticipation for action or drama but also serious emotional depth. With interest surging, VDxShouryuv will probably be one of the best-argued films this year and one of the most promising films of this year. That it had an impassioned lead star and a director with a good eye and an international team behind it means this is an opportunity for the film to be more mainstream in a crowded field.
