Custody About Movie:

This film marked the Tamil debut of Naga Chaitanya. This was also Krithi Shetty’s Tamil debut, as in her last bilingual The Warriorr, her portions were only shot in Telugu.

It is inspired by the 2006 Bruce Willis starrer “16 Blocks”.

The fourth single “Anna Thammulante” in Telugu and “Ettu Thesa” in Tamil was released on 24 May 2023 after the film’s release.

Custody was theatrically released on May 12, 2023. The film received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, with praise towards the cast performances (Naga Chaitanya, Arvind Swamy, R. Sarathkumar, and Krithi Shetty), cinematography, action sequences, plot and background music, but criticism directed towards its length and predictability and became a box office disappointment. It Premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 9 June 2023 in Telugu and Tamil, along with dubbed versions in Malayalam and Kannada.
