He has earlier written 'Prathinidhi'. He is debuting as a director with 'Napolean'. He is also the film's lead. He is Anand Ravi.

Produced by Bhogendra Gupta, the film's Teaser is curious. In what may be described as nothing less than surreal, the lead approaches police, complaining that he lost his shadow. Fittingly, 'The man who lost his shadow' is the film's tag line. If this is curious enough, the description, 'Another story of a common man' makes one wonder if it's a no-holds-barred, satirical dig at the system.

Brought by Acharya Creations and Anand Ravi Concepts, the film has music by Siddharth Sadasivuni.

In the end, why did they name the film after a dictator? Let's wait and watch.
