An event to release the first single, Jinguchaa, took place in Chennai on Friday. The film’s cast and crew, including director Mani Ratnam and actors Kamal Haasan, Silambarasan, Trisha and others, were in attendance.
Silambarasan, who has already worked with Mani Ratnam in Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, and first time with Kamal Haasan said, “When we were shooting it was very tough to even perform for first few days. I have worked with Mani Ratnam sir in Chekka Chivantha Vaanam. It was tough even then, but I started to learn how to work with him.
"But here it is, Mani sir as well as Kamal sir. In between, I will be standing, and when they are talking, you don't know what to do. I thank Kamal sir. As a child actor, I have seen his films growing up, and to act next to him is a great moment. He took care of me very well and has given me a place next to him, showing his magnanimity.”
