Talking about his character, lead actor Vallabh Teja said, “What attracted me to this film is its originality. It blends psychological drama, science fiction, and survival horror in a way I haven’t seen before, while staying deeply human at its core. Teja is a man trapped by guilt, and his journey isn’t about spectacle – it’s about choosing life again. The parallel-world connection turns his inner collapse into something cinematic and universal”
