The film recently crossed the Rs 200-crore mark at the box office, emerging as one of the top-grossing films in the industry this year. It is now eyeing the Rs 300-crore milestone in the coming weeks.
Helmed by Jithu Madhavan, the film is jointly produced by Suriya and Jyotika under their banners, 2D Entertainment and Zhagaram Studios. Music director Sushin Shyam made his Tamil debut with Scene, while Vineeth Augustian handled the cinematography.
