Samantha Akkineni and Keerthy Suresh have made special appearances in the film, which looks like a true-blue entertainer.

Rakul, in a recent interview, spoke to a daily spoke about how she dealt with not getting success overnight. She said, "I started at the age of 18. For me, it’s been a long, but a good journey. The good part is that a film like DDPD came to me at a time when I could understand its emotional complexities. I don't think I would have been ready to play a part like this in 2014 when I did Yaariyan and moved to Telugu cinema. I understood the business by being a part of it.

I had no one who could explain things or show me the way. There was a time when I went for meetings in sports-shoes; that changed with time. When you don’t get success overnight, you value it more, you stay grounded and work hard to sustain it. My first Telugu film opened many doors for me. I thought I might as well do the work coming my way than leave it and chase what’s evading me."
