Director Vignesh Srikanth:
I’m feeling so emotional, I’ll try my best not to cry while I’m speaking. I’m in cinema only because of Mani Ratnam sir, I owe a lot to him. In fact, this movie is my love letter to Mani sir. I’m so thankful to director Ranjith Jeyakodi who referred me to this production company. Arjun Das is the reason for me to have finished writing this script, he kept motivating me to write. He has given life to his character perfectly, only in edit, I realized how big his contribution is to his role. It is a love film, there so many weddings and 13 songs in the movie, so there were montages to shoot all through the day, it was Aditi Shankar who kept the sets so happy and lively. All the visual grammar you are all looking in the movie was sketched by me and cameraman Arvind Viswanathan together. It’s not easy to finish this film within limited days. Nash is a very knowledgeable editor, he knows pulse and has great sense in the script too. Music director Hesham Abdul Wahab just owned the movie. Despite delay, he kept surprising me with his tracks, every time when I go to his studio, he presented the film in such a fresh manner. Many people asked me regarding the update of the film for the past two years. But it didn’t hit me hard only because of Hesham, as I go to Kochi 2 months once and get a good song, I felt happy to constantly create something with him. My direction team stood with me as a pillar-of-strength amidst so many hurdles.
