After decades of working with stars like Srujan Lokesh, Vijay Raghavendra, Guru Jaggesh (son of Jaggesh), Vinod Prabhakar (Tiger Prabhakar's son), Prajwal Devaraj (Devaraj's son), and Chiranjeevi Sarja, he has chosen to back a complete newcomer.

"This film didn't require a celebrity—it needed someone real," says Ramnarayan, adding, "Yogaraj Bhat's story called for an ordinary face to reflect extraordinary truths."

Kuladalli Keelyavudo tackles deeper societal issues, moving beyond just a commentary on caste. "It's not about upper or lower caste. It's about why caste still defines our identity today," Ram asserts. "When someone is questioned about what they eat or who they love based on caste, we're not talking tradition—we're talking regression."
