You find terrific screenplay and stunning visuals. The film is loaded with all elements which audience look for. There will be many surprises in the movie. You must watch it on the big screen.

All my school friends and college friends are from Chennai. Suddenly, I left Chennai and got drenched in acting. No one approached me to do a Tamil film. After nearly 18 years Murugadoss garu narrated me a script and I was very much impressed and given instant nod. The way that Tamil cine fraternity has received is wonderful. I can’t explain it in words. Really tears rolled on my eyes. I am eagerly waiting for the film. There are mind blogging action scenes in the film.
