 ‘No Logic, Only Magic’

Some film enthusiasts believe that there’s no need to look for too much logic in the film; just enjoy the entertainment. One user called it a “passable entertainer” and gave it a 3.5/5 rating. However, some have also described the songs as a “speed breaker” in the film’s pace.

The Film’s Star Cast

Along with Karthi, Krithi Shetty plays the lead role. Veteran actors like Rajkiran, Sathyaraj, and Anandaraj are also seen in important roles. Krithi Shetty’s performance has been described as ‘decent’ by some.

Was Karthi really scared?

Yes, it’s true! Karthi himself revealed in an interview that he was quite nervous before taking on this role. He was afraid that MGR’s fans might be unhappy with his portrayal. But then he overcame his hesitation and accepted the challenge.
