Director Selvaraghavan: ‘It is the most difficult genre to work on. Well, I felt more comfortable while penning the script. But things were much on contrastive grounds as I stepped onto the floors. Filming this project with 2000 junior artists from various regional backgrounds was the most risky bet that a filmmaker can go through.’
Also added, ‘Shooting this flick for a long time doesn’t the film’s duration would exceed three hours!!!’ The most surprising part was to hear that running time is merely 120mins. “Although, the genre of Fantasy-Adventure is far-famed in World Cinema, it’s something new to Tamil film industry has none have attempted here.’
Earlier the film’s budget was planned to be Rs. 15Crores and finally it mounted up for an unexpected number of 32Crores. Cinematographer Ramji’s each and every frame would surely get audiences feel that it’s a top-notching endeavor that none have attempted.
Karthi: ‘As soon I completed Paruthiveeran, it was a call of surprisal from Selvaraghavan who had plans about making a romance film with me. Later, he found it be cliched and geared up for this unparalleled genre. It’s a beautiful film that will entertain audience from every class and especially kids would enjoy watching this.’
Andrea: ‘It isn’t just a film for me, but a revival of my life in film career.’
Music Director G.V. Prakash: ‘As the film’s genre happens to be new, the music too will be innovatively different. We’ve tried using some of the ancient instruments from World Music. The Album has 10 songs and additional features would be the background score.’
Parthiban: ‘I am not supposed to reveal about my characterization and indeed hadn’t performed such an interesting role earlier in my films.
