Upendra’s directorial comeback, UI, is currently on floors, and the shooting is underway at a rigorous pace. However, apart from Upendra and Murali Krishna, none of the other cast members were announced by the makers. But there were speculations that Nidhi Subaiah, Indrajit Lankesh, Prasant Sambargi, and Om Saiprakash are part of the ensemble cast.
