Great to see more collaboration between Malayalam and Tamil industries. The teaser looks promising. The cast is interesting too. Looking forward to seeing how Basil's unique style translates to Tamil cinema.
The plot sounds like a typical college drama, no? Hope they bring something fresh to the table. Basil is a good choice though, he can pull off both comedy and serious roles. Let's see.
As someone who enjoys films from all Indian languages, this is wonderful news. More cross-industry work means richer stories for all of us. The teaser has a good energy. Best of luck to the team!
Basil Anna entering Kollywood! 🔥 Hope he gets the same love from Tamil audience. He's a brilliant filmmaker. Also good to see him starting his own production house to support new stories. Need more producers like him.
Respectfully, I hope the focus remains on making a good film and not just on the 'debut' aspect. Sometimes these cross-industry debuts feel more like marketing events. The teaser is decent, but the real test is the full movie. Wishing them success.
