“Our society is gradually losing out on the art, culture, tradition, and social relationships it was built on. It is necessary that we educate the current generation about this crisis and that’s why I decided to make this film. Keeping the livelihood of people hailing from the Kongu Seemai region as the backdrop, it will deal with the bond between a brother and sister. I’m sure the film will join the list of popular sibling classics like Yen Thangai, Pasamalar, Mullum Malarum, Kizhakku Seemayile,” said director Jayamurugan TM.
Actor Karthik who is reportedly busy with his political duties will be essaying the role of the brother. Speaking about roping in the actor for the role, Jayamurugan said, “I felt like I’ve already succeeded when he agreed to the role instantly after listening to the script. It will definitely be a milestone in his career.”
The shooting of the film commenced last week with a puja at the Sri Selvanayaki Amman temple in the village of Keeranur situated in Tirupur. The makers have planned to finish the shoot in one single schedule at various places like Pollachi, Tirupur, Ooty, and Coimbatore.
