On Friday, Gunasekhar took to Twitter and announced the same. "Amidst this global pandemic, despite Hiranyakashyap pre-production work completed, the massive scale shoot will take off later than anticipated. In the meantime, I’ve embarked on another film.”

In December there were rumours that the film has been shelved. Back then he had said that the film will go on floors in late 2020. Talking about the delay in making the film, he had said that they are making use of the latest technology. The actor said that they are building virtual reality sets along with rendered visuals as seen in video games, which allows them to watch the film digitally even before they start shooting.

This is the first time that an Indian film will be making use of this technology. Rana said that they are collaborating with a 3D scanning company, which specializes in medical technology.
