The upcoming film will be directed by debutant Bharat Kamma. “Dear Bharat, I know how big a moment this is in your life and the tears in your eyes showed me the years you’ve put into this dream.

The first look of the film was released in May coinciding with Vijay’s birthday. Mythri Movie Makers, which has bankrolled blockbusters such as Janatha Garage and Rangasthalam, will be producing Vijay’s next in association with Big Ben Cinemas.

Rashmika Mandanna will be playing the female lead in Dear Comrade. She has also essayed Vijay Deverakonda’s romantic interest in the forthcoming film Geetha Govindam.

After scoring back-to-back hits (Pelli Choopulu and Arjun Reddy), Vijay has now become one of the most-sought-after stars down south. His upcoming thriller Taxiwala was expected to hit the screens this year but it has been delayed due to post-production reasons. The actor will be playing a cab driver in the film, which is helmed by Rahul Sankrityayan. Taxiwala has Priyanka Jawalkar as the female lead.
