"Love like never before. Laugh like never before. 2021 will end on a high ..Play starts soon (sic)," wrote Nani, unveiling the Curtain Raiser of his 28th film. To be directed by Vivek Athreya, the entertainer is titled 'Ante Sundaraniki' and is produced by Mythri Movie Makers. 

Starring Nazriya Fahadh of 'Raja Rani' fame, the Curtain Raiser is all about people gossiping about Sundaram. The title denotes the colloquial language people use in day-to-day life. Going by the short teaser, the film is a comedy-drama with a stage play backdrop. Harshavardhan's voice is heard, so also Nani's. The 'Jersey' actor's image is seen holding a luggage bag. 

With music by Vivek Sagar, the film has music by Niketh Bommi. Editing is by Raviteja Girijala. Production Design is by Latha Tharun.
