He adds, “As soon as I completed the script, I approached Trident Arts Ravindran sir to narrate it. He was happy with my narration and suggested that Ashwin would suit this role. Ashwin is an actor with charisma and a great performer, who can emote with ease and I am excited to work with him.”
On the title, which is inspired from AR Rahman’s song from the film Kandukondein Kandukondein , Hariharan says, “The title has a lot of significance with the script. Besides, it’s my all-time favourite song. The film will be on the lines of beautiful rom-coms like Minsara Kanavu and Unnale Unnale .”
He also reveals that the film is a triangular love story, “I cannot reveal more than this for now. Vijay TV fame Pugazh will be seen in a role that is more than a comedian. His character has a good substantiality. We are finalising the heroines for the film and will be making an announcement soon on this.”
