According to online discussions shared by Movies Singapore, Lokesh Kanagaraj narrated an outline of the film to the Pushpa actor, which reportedly impressed him. However, the entire script is not complete yet and once it is ready it will be presented to the actor as a final statement.
Reportedly, Lokesh is currently working on the Bound script with his co-writers Chandru Anbazhagan and Ratna Kumar along with other key assistant directors. The filmmaker is currently in Kerala and is expected to continue working on the script till March 3, 2026.

The film’s music and background score will be composed by Anirudh Ravichander, marking his first collaboration with Allu Arjun. The teaser’s theme track, 23 Theme, recently went viral on the internet.
