Interesting to see a YouTuber, Prankster Rahul, making his directorial debut. The transition from short videos to a full feature film is a big leap. The cast looks promising, especially with veterans like Bhaskar sir. Hope the story is as strong as the team.

Horror comedy shot in Chennai and Puducherry sounds fun! Puducherry gives such a unique aesthetic. Ranjin Raj's music is always a plus. Fingers crossed it's a proper entertainer. We need good, light-hearted films these days. All the best to the team!

The producer is "sparing no expense" but they wrapped shooting in 45 days? Something doesn't add up. I hope this isn't another case of style over substance. With such a veteran cast, the director needs to do justice to them. Let's see.

The technical team seems solid. Santhanam on cinematography is a good choice. Combining fantasy, action, drama, horror, and comedy is a tall order. Hope they manage to blend it all seamlessly without it feeling messy. Curious about the 'Grandfather' title.

Mime Gopi and Munishkanth in the same film? The comedy scenes are guaranteed to be hilarious then! 😂 A commercial entertainer with all elements is exactly what we need for a family outing. Hope the post-production is quick. Waiting for the trailer!
