Directed by Saikiran Adivi, the film also has writer Abburi Ravi as the antagonist. Talking about Manoj, he has been part of many films as a child artiste. He played the younger version of Mahesh Babu in Athadu and Prabhas in Chatrapathi. As a male lead, he impressed the audience in 'Oka Romantic Crime Katha'. 


Impressed with Manoj’s look from the film, Vijay Deverakonda said, "I am happy that I have released Manoj's Farooq Iqbal Iraqi's look.  I have watched him ever since the days of 'Athadu'.  I had done an audition for 'Kerintha' movie with Saikiran Adivi.  Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance in that movie.  I have always watched his movies.  We all come from Sekhar Kammula garu's team. Coming to 'OGF', I have loved Abburi Ravi garu's look as well.  I wish Aadi Saikumar, Airtel 4G girl Sasha and others all the best.  I wish that 'OGF' becomes a huge hit."


Director Saikiran Adivi said, "I thank Vijay Deverakonda for releasing the FL despite him being busy with his work.  He spared time for us.  I couldn't cast him in 'Kerintha'. Despite that, he has come today to help me.  I thank him once again."
