They also released a new poster to announce the beginning of the second schedule. The poster had the tag line, "One step deeper;One swing closer."

The film has triggered huge expectations among fans and film buffs ever since news broke out about the commencement of shooting for the film in April this year.

It may be recalled that Naga Chaitanya had disclosed details of this project in an interview to a YouTube channel some months ago.

Naga Chaitanya had said that his upcoming film with director Karthik, who is best known for having directed the horror thriller 'Virupaksha', would be a mythological thriller.

"This will be a very heavy VFX-based cinema and I am very excited about this project," Naga Chaitanya had said. The actor went on to point out that he had not done a film with this kind of span in his 15-year film career.

"This film will be in the zone of adventure, treasure hunting," the actor said.

Directed by Karthik Dandu, the film is being produced by BVSN Prasad. The film's story has been penned by director Sukumar. The film, which is tentatively being referred to as #NC24, will have cinematography by Neil D Cunha and music by Ajaneesh Loknath. Editing for the film will be by National award winning editor Navin Nooli while Art direction will be by Sri Nagendra Tangala, who also handled the art direction of 'Thandel'.

Interestingly, SVCC had, at the time of commencement of shooting of the film, said, "After years of crafting, months of planning, and endless hours of rehearsing, #NC24 The Excavation Begins. Brace yourselves for the grand spectacle of a never-before-seen mythical thriller."

It also posted a video link to show the amount of pre-production work the unit had put in before starting the film's shooting.

Actor Naga Chaitanya, for his part, had then said, "Buried Secrets. Beyond Time. The Raging Mythical Thriller Begins #NC24. Shoot begins."

After Virupaksha, Karthik Dandu directing this project gives me high hopes. But hope they don't compromise on story for VFX. Our mythology has such rich content - should be handled with care.

"One step deeper; One swing closer" - intriguing tagline! Wonder what mythological treasure they're hunting for. Maybe something from our Puranas? The team looks solid with Sukumar's story and Navin Nooli's editing.

Hope they don't distort our ancient stories for commercial purposes. Recent films have taken too many liberties with mythology. But with Sukumar involved, maybe we'll get something authentic yet entertaining.
