Cast
Babu and Kalyan's films also have strong and popular co-stars
Sarkaru Vaari Paata also features Keerthy Suresh, who has bagged National Film Award in the Best Actress category for her performance in Telugu flick, Mahanati, a 2018 release. Further, Kalyan-Daggubati's movie, which has been titled PSPK Rana Movie for now, is the former's 29th project.
