Directed by Manju Kavi, the film is already well into production, with nearly 40 percent of the shoot completed. The project features a cast that includes Rajveer, Suchendra Prasad and Chaitra Ram, and is positioned as a socially conscious drama with an environmental core. According to the makers, the narrative revolves around an ordinary man known as Thiklu Rama, whose life is shaped by his commitment to ecological causes and community welfare.

Responding to the controversy, the film’s team has struck a conciliatory tone. They have clarified that the intention behind the title is neither irreverent nor provocative, and that the story itself carries a positive and meaningful message. At the same time, the producers have indicated a willingness to consider changes if the title is found to be genuinely hurtful. The possibility of a revised title is now being discussed, with an official announcement expected after internal consultations.
