Actor-filmmaker Pradeep Ranganathan, who was speaking at the success meet of Love Insurance Kompany (LIK), shared that he is surprised and happy about the opening and the reception the Vignesh Shivan directorial is getting since its release.
At the event, he said, "It's been about 3.5 years since I heard this film's one-liner. After that, the film went under too many delays, and we announced five release dates with even songs getting released two years ago. Because of these delays, I was scared that the hype might reduce and affect everyone."
He expressed gratitude to the audience, cast and crew for their support.
The film, which opened to mixed reviews upon release, is set in the year 2040 in Chennai, where an app, Love Insurance Kompany (LIK), that promises to calculate compatibility between couples with precision. This app brings trouble into the love life of Vibe Vassey (Pradeep Ranganathan), someone not addicted to using gadgets and his social media influencer girlfriend Dheema (Krithi Shetty).
An excerpt from the CE review reads, "Love Insurance Kompany introduces a lot of promising ideas only to suffer a dramatic fall, more dramatic than the film itself. Like Gen Z films that make token cultural references, LIK has refurbished the overdone social media interface with a specious futurism."
In addition to Pradeep and Krithi, the film also stars SJ Suryah, Krithi Shetty, Seeman and Gouri G Kishan.
