It was also revealed that Naga Chaitanya will be seen in a ferocious avatar of a police officer in the film. Talking about his character, a source had earlier revealed, “The makers wanted to showcase the honest and determined police officer avatar of Naga Chaitanya in the poster. He is like ‘A Shiva’ who stands tall against all odds to be the change he wishes to see. It appears that he must fight his own system for something in which he believes and stands. Venkat Prabhu wanted to present Chay in an entirely new avatar that is impressive and exciting.”

With Aravind Swamy playing the antagonist, Custody stars Priyamani, Sarathkumar, and Sampath Raj will be seen in pivotal roles along with Krithi Shetty who will be playing Chay’s love interest in the film.
