Starring Kajol, Amala Paul and Samuthirakani, the film is produced by Dhanush’s home banner Wunderbar Films. Kajol reportedly plays the antagonist and her confrontational scenes with Dhanush are being pitched as the highlight of the film. Kajol was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s family drama Dilwale last year. As far as Tamil cinema is concerned, her last was back in 1997 when she played an aspiring nun in Minsara Kanavu, sharing the screen space with Arvind Swamy and Prabhudeva. The film is being co-produced by S Thanu’s V Creations.
