Huge congratulations to Arun Matheswaran and Mukesh Gnanesh… outstanding work! Wamiqa Gabbi, you were fantastic. And what a powerful, brutal debut as a hero, dear Lokesh Kanagaraj."
She reserved her special words for composer Anirudh and his music. "To my brother, the original rockstar Anirudh, brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Congratulations to the entire cast & crew and Sun Pictures," she added.
Besides Lokesh, Wamiqa Gabbi and Sanjana Krishnamoorthy play female leads. Avinash Raghudevan also portrays a key role.
