The makers recently unveiled a special behind-the-scenes (BTS) video titled 'Into the world of the film', offering a glimpse into the making of this intriguing project.

Satya Dev's Makeover for 'Rao Bahadur'
The BTS video also features Satya Dev's impressive makeover. It shows the actor arriving on set and immediately preparing for a lengthy makeup session. A team of technicians carefully applies a bald cap and specialized prosthetics to create an aged look. They add a long grey-haired wig, a thick beard, and a curled handlebar moustache. This transformation completely changes Satya Dev's appearance, helping him step into the role of a regal elderly character.

The film stars Deepa Thomas as the female lead. This project marks the second collaboration between Venkatesh Maha and Satya Dev after 'Uma Maheswara Ugra Roopasya'. The cast also includes Vikas Muppala, Bala Parasar, Anand Bharathi, Pranay Vaka, and Master Kiran in important roles. Interestingly, superstar Mahesh Babu's GMB Entertainment is presenting the film. Kartik Parmar handles the cinematography, while Smaran Sai composes the music. The film is set to release in theatres on July 3.
