The director RA Venkat said “I feel honoured that our film got such a rare recognition. The story is set in a village near Madurai. The three central character are a grandfather, his grandson and a goat. The emotions of the trio are the driving force. When it was screened in the Panorama, I felt the younger section wouldn’t connect to it. But they’re the ones who lapped it up and I couldn’t have been happier. I grew up with my grandparents and I drew inspiration from my childhood memories while making the film. I’d like to thank my producer RaviKishore garu for his support. I feel honoured to have worked with a top man like him so early in my career. He gave me complete freedom. I thank him from the bottom of my heart.”
