The screenplay is written by Niranjan Iyengar and Jessica Khurana.

Director revealed themes and character details of 'Maharagni'
In an exclusive interview with Hyderabad Times, Uppalapati shared his anticipation for the on-screen reunion of Kajol and Deva after nearly three decades. He revealed that the film would highlight issues such as children settling abroad neglecting their parents and seeking their property later. Uppalapati added that Shah plays a very important role while Menon's role will be very different from anything she's done so far in Telugu and Tamil cinema.
Meanwhile, looking at Kajol and Deva's upcoming projects
Kajol, much like her husband Ajay Devgn, has a packed schedule for 2024. Her upcoming projects include the highly-anticipated Netflix film Do Patti, co-starring Kriti Sanon, and Sarzammen, alongside South sensation Prithviraj Sukumaran.
