Days ago, actor-filmmaker Ken Karunaas, who made his debut as a director and as a lead actor with Youth, shared pictures of himself and the film's team with Suriya and Karthi. The makers dropped the meeting video of the Youth team with the sibling actors.

Congratulating Ken, Suriya said, "I need to celebrate this film, Ken is like my son," adding that it is a steep task to complete the film in a short time. "Completing a film in 53 days is like fighting a battle," he said. He also praised the team for staying confident and making things work effortlessly. Karthi said the experience of watching the film was 'superb'.

Along with Ken and Anishma Anilkumar, Youth also starred Suraj Venjaramoodu, Devadarshini, Meenakshi Dinesh, and Priyanshi Yadav, among others.

The coming-of-age comedy drama received mostly positive reviews upon its release on March 19. An excerpt from the CE review reads, "In Youth, Ken gets most things right and shines as a director, especially in the way he has extracted performances. While the kids are all right in this film, it is Suraj and Devadarshini who really steal the show in the last act with their restraint and subtlety."

GV Prakash Kumar, who has composed music for Asuran (2018) and Vaathi (2023), which featured Ken, composed music for Youth. The rest of the crew includes Viki as the cinematographer, Nash as the editor, Ramu Thangaraj as the art director, and Kalai Kingson as the stunt choreographer.
