Speaking about the film, Akshay Kejriwal, Head – South Movies, Zee Studios, said in a statement, “We are extremely delighted and proud to announce our collaboration on this very prestigious project with Wunderbar Films. This film marks the return of the uber successful Karnan duo and we couldn’t be happier to bring their next project to audiences. Dhanush has consistently enthralled audiences across the globe with his versatility and it is our absolute honour and privilege to present this film helmed by the highly acclaimed master craftsman, Mari Selvaraj.”
Dhanush and Mari Selvaraj’s first collaboration Karnan received rave reviews upon its release in 2021. A parts of Indianexpress.com’s review read, “Dhanush leaves behind his stardom and has embraced the unglamorous features of his character with a lot of conviction. He has delivered a realized performance as an angry young man, who can no longer sacrifice his self-respect simply to stay alive. Lal, Rajisha Vijayan, Lakshmi Priyaa Chandramouli, Yogi Babu, Gouri G. Kishan, all young children, all old people, module dogs, the horse and even a donkey will make an impression on you.”
