Directed by Sriram Venu of "Ninnu Kori" fame, the film is produced by Boney Kapoor and Dil Raju. Last year Boney Kapoor produced "Nerkonda Paarvai", the Tamil version of "Pink", which starred Ajith Kumar. "Vakeel Saab" marks Pawan Kalyan's return into films after he decided to start a political career as chief of the Jana Sena Party.
