Talking about the film, Ajay Bhupati said, "Our 'Mangalavaar' is a village-based rare action-thriller set in 90's backdrop. It sticks to our nativity with raw, rustic visuals and emotions. There are 30 characters in the story and every character has got a certain place in the larger scheme of the film."

Ajay has worked with 'Satya' director Ram Gopal Verma as an executive director in the film 'Vangaveeti', as chief co-director in the film 'Killing Veerappan' and as associate director in films like 'Attack' and 'Veera'.

Leaving no stone unturned in standards, the team successfully wrapped up the 99 days of shoot on June 12, and the film is now into the post production.

The teaser of the film was unveiled recently. The raw and intense clips in the teaser send chills down the spine and the background score by Ajaneesh Loknath has added an eerie soul to it. Swathi Reddy Gunupati and Suresh Varma M are backing this project under Mudra Media Works & A Creative Works. Believing in the potential of content, the makers are aiming for a Pan Indian release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam languages.
