Ashok is once again experimenting with a rom-com, one that he is excited about. In an interview, the actor revealed that Saba Nayagan is a film that evokes a community experience. “We have tried to evoke a particular emotion in a fun and entertaining film. It is a film that college students can watch, enjoy and have fun with. It is a community-watching experience. It is not like a Por Thozhil, where you had to concentrate on the details of each frame,” the actor explained.
