Good to see the post-production moving fast. Gautham Karthik is a solid actor and the sci-fi crime thriller genre is picking up in Tamil. Hope the story is as strong as the cast. Fingers crossed!
While I appreciate the cross-industry collaboration, I hope Aparshakti's dubbing sounds authentic. Sometimes when Hindi actors dub in Tamil, the lip-sync and emotion get lost. Hope the team has worked hard on that aspect.
The concept sounds interesting! A sci-fi crime thriller with a police officer lead. The crew looks promising too, with the cinematographer and music director. Looking forward to the trailer.
Director has worked on Kochadaiiyaan, so there's some experience with big projects. But the real test is delivering a fresh sci-fi story that connects with our audience. Hope it's not just style over substance. All the best to the team!
Y.Gee Mahendran sir is in the cast! That's a guarantee for some great performance moments. Excited to see Bhavya Trikha as well. The combination of veteran and new talent is always interesting. 🤩
