While I appreciate the ambition, I hope they don't get carried away with visual effects at the cost of storytelling. Maayavan was good but had some pacing issues. Fingers crossed this one balances both better.

Music by Srikant who worked with AR Rahman! That's a huge plus. The soundtrack of Maayavan was brilliant. Expecting another masterpiece. When's the audio launch?
