Since the plot of the film revolves around Nikhil's titular character's quest to find the Lord Krishna's anklet in the sunken city of Dwarka, we at DNA recently caught up with the Happy Days actor and asked if the team ever had any fear of the backlash or a call for the ban on their film.

Nikhil told DNA, "We showed the reality, so, we never had that fear. We were doing nothing wrong. From day one, we had the support of every Indian... so this film does not belong to any religion. We are talking about our Bharat, we are talking about how Ram Rajya used to exist from Europe to Indonesia. We are talking about really interesting points, specially about the sunken city of Dwarka which exists down there but many people don't know about it."

Apart from Nikhil, the film released on August 13 also stars Anupama Parameswaran, Anupama Kher, Srinivasa Reddy, and Harsha Chemudu in the leading roles.
