Sri Lakshmi Sai Films bagged the overseas theatrical distribution rights and DVD rights of Nagarjuna's Shirdi Sai film. "There have been several prior depictions on the life and times of Sadguru Sai BABA in quite a few languages. But why this version stands out is, for its unique approach, presentation, use of technology and of course portrayal of Baba by one of the greatest actors of our times," said Nagarjuna.

The film has been directed by one of India's most successful directors - Shri K. Raghavendra Rao M M Keeravani has composed the music for the film. S. Gopal Reddy handled the Camera. The star cast in this movie is Nagarjuna, Srikanth, Sri Hari, Sai Kumar, Kamalini Mukherjee, Sharath Babu, Ali, Bramhanandam etc.

After portraying saint-poets Annamayya and Bhakta Ramadasu, Telugu actor Nagarjuna Akkineni plays the role of the Shirdi Sai Baba in Shirdi Sai Baba movie. The superstar teams up again with director K Raghavendra Rao and music director Keeravani for the film.

MM Keeravani, who earlier delivered several chartbusters for Nagarjuna's devotional films like "Annamayya" and "Sriramadasu", is very confident and recreated the magic with "Shirdi Sai Baba".
