Man is blasting like a Saravedi on screen with his screen presence.” Another said, “Peak sambavam loading.

A teaser of the film was released on Suriya’s birthday last June, showing him in dual roles. One version of him, dressed in white, is a lawyer named Saravanan who says he, too, goes by an alias.
