“We as an entire team owe a lot to Superstar Rajinikanth sir, late director K Balachandar Sir and Mrs. Pushpa of Kavithalaya Productions for giving us the title “Netrikann”. Milind’s script is an interesting & intriguing thriller. Just like his previous film, this will also be entertaining for the audience” said Vignesh Shivan in a press release.
Milind’s previous film was the atmospheric thriller Aval, produced and co-written by actor Siddharth. Karthik Ganesh N will handle the camera for Netrikann, S Kamalanathan will be in charge of art and C Mahesh will choreograph the action sequences. While the rest of the cast is yet to be finalised, the technical crew includes Lawrence Kishore (editor), Naveen Sundaramoorthy (dialogues) and Chaitanya Rao and Dinesh Manoharan (styling and costumes).
