Interesting choice! But I hope he works on his Tamil diction properly. Many North Indian actors struggle with South Indian languages and it shows. Wishing him all the best though!

As a Chennaiite, I'm excited to see this collaboration! The combination of Aparshakti's comic timing and Gautham Karthik's intensity could be magical. Hope the script does justice to both talents.

Finally some good sci-fi content coming from Indian cinema! The title 'ROOT' sounds intriguing. Hope it's not just another time travel cliché. Fingers crossed 🤞

Love how Indian cinema is becoming more pan-India. First Prabhas in Bollywood, now Aparshakti in Kollywood. This is the future of entertainment in our country!

The director's previous work was brilliant. If he brings that same creativity to this project, we're in for a treat! Sci-fi is such an underutilized genre in India.
