Thanking Suseenthiran for producing his first film as a director, Manoj Bharathiraja expressed hope that the movie will be liked and appreciated by all. Manoj, who worked as assistant director to Mani Ratnam in ‘Bombay’, recently met the ace filmmaker and sought wishes for his directorial debut.
Manoj Bharathiraja also said that Ilaiyaraaja’s songs and background score will play an important role in this story which has got a huge scope for music.
