What they say…
Producer S. R. Prabhu: I was waiting for the right film to announce my entry as producer. When I heard the story of Saguni, I was really happy to do it as my debut production. It has all the ingredients to be a hit.
Director Shankar Dhayal N: With Karthi as lead, I did not feel like a new director at all! He was there to help whenever I needed him and has done a wonderful job in his role as well. We have shot in Poland, a first time for us and for the viewers.
Hero Karthi: After Nan Mahan Alla and Siruthai, I was looking for something different. When I heard the story of Saguni, I realised the film would be a total changeover for me. I know I am liked by kids, so I wanted the script to have a lot of comedy.
Music director G.V. Prakash: I am very happy with how the songs sound. Within a few hours of the audio release, nearly two lakh ringtones were downloaded, ample proof of the success of the songs.
