It was titled as Aditya 999 and a lot of hype surrounded the project. But till now, the film has not continued with its shooting after the initial phase. Inside news reveals the main cause for that is the budget constraint. The project had director V N Aditya for script and screenplay.

The veteran Singeetam Srinivasa Rao is meant to direct the film and Aditya 369 was helmed by him. Now, due to budget issues, the film is said to have reached a roadblock. Meanwhile, with the same concept Tamil star Vijay is doing a film and it is titled as Puli which has the likes of Sudeep, Shruti Haasan and even Sridevi in the lead.
