As far as the film is concerned, director Dr. Raghavendra B.S. has stated in an interview with an online daily that his endeavor is to neither create a

biopic

The film, as revealed by the same interview, will be shot extensively abroad involving many Hollywood technicians and is being mounted as a Hollywood film, owing to the fact the Field Marshal K.M. Cariappa is a reputed figure all over the world. The team is currently in the research stage.
