Producer and distributor Dhananjayan said, “This film was delayed due to some reasons. Later, when I watched the film, I liked it a lot. Everyone will have importance in the story. Congratulations to director Maran. After watching the film, you will get the satisfaction of watching a good film. The story will go through many layers like how they blackmail and how they kidnap. Li Nga, Bindu Madhavi, Teju, Ramesh Thilak, Muthukumar, everyone has acted well. Maran has given a good thriller based on the things that happen in our lives. Amalraj sir will get a good success on the 12th. I hope you will like the film too. Maran has given a film with a sense of responsibility. There are many negative things happening around cinema. When good films come, many things are done to spoil them. A film has to overcome all that and win. So, don’t misuse cinema. Always support good cinema. This is my personal opinion. It is difficult to approach GV Prakash as a music composer. But it is easy to approach him as an actor. He will act even without taking any salary. Because he loves acting. GV Prakash is a treasure that Tamil cinema has got. This film should become a huge success.”

Director M. Maran, “The cooperation given to me by the producer is immense. It is difficult to find a producer like him. This film is successful and he should produce films in succession. In such a difficult situation, it is a great thing that someone like Dhananjayan sir has come forward. He will highlight the right films and talents. Thank you for the support he has given to our film. Thank you for the cooperation of all the crew. I also wish to do films in succession with GV Prakash sir. I need all your support”.
Actor GV Prakash, “The entire crew has worked sincerely. Maran has given a good film. I really like the film. The film will be a thriller that will captivate you. This film should be profitable for the producer. Thank you also to Dhananjayan sir for supporting our film. Congratulations to Ramesh sir, Muthukumar sir, Teju, Linga and all the technical team.
