Interesting to see international collaboration with Michella from Sri Lanka. Hope this becomes a trend in Kollywood 🌍

Not sure about Veera Kumar directing - Chasing was decent but nothing special. Hope he steps up his game here.

Rameswaram is such a beautiful location for shooting! The temple scenes will look magical on screen 🛕

With Yogi Babu in the cast, we can expect some good comedy relief. Hope they don't overdo it though.
