Besides Nayanthara, the makers have roped in Prateik Babbar to essay the antagonist.
According to reports, 'Darbar is set in the Maximum City, however, the team will capture some portions on sets in Tamil Nadu since it would be a task to control fans of the superstar on real locations.
Popular lensman Santosh Sivan will crank the camera while Anirudh Ravichander will compose the music. Sreekar Prasad will take care of editing.
'Darbar' will simultaneously release in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. It is expected to hit the big screens in 2020.
