Making it a Pan India film, makers of Mega Star Chiranjeevi starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy have roped in actors from various languages. Big B Amitabh Bachchan from Bollywood, Sudeep from Sandalwood, Vijay Sethupathi from Kollywood are zeroed in for key roles in the film. Did this strategy work for the film?
