Restaurants, gymnasiums, spas, cinema halls and theatres will continue to operate at 50% capacity.

The film is the official Hindi remake of National Award-winning Telugu film by the same name. The original film starred actor Nani.

It follows the story of an underdog and celebrates the human spirit.

Both the films are directed by Gowtam Tinnanuri.

The Hindi remake also stars actor Pankaj Kapur and actress Mrunal Thakur.
