So excited for this! Vijay Sethupathi never disappoints with his choice of roles. The Malaysia backdrop looks stunning in the teasers. May 23 can't come soon enough! 🔥
The technical team looks solid - Justin Prabhakaran's music and Sam CS's BGM combo is always a winner. Hope the story lives up to the hype though.
"Bold Kannan" - what an interesting character name! VJS has this unique ability to make even commercial roles feel fresh. The airport scene in traditional attire was ðŸ˜
While I'm excited for the film, I hope they don't rely too much on the Malaysia visuals and focus more on substance. Recent commercial films have been style over story.
Yogi Babu's presence guarantees some good laughs! Interesting to see how they balance action and comedy in this one. The team looks perfect for an entertainer.
Shot entirely in Malaysia? That's ambitious! Hope the foreign locations serve the story and aren't just for show. Either way, VJS's screen presence will carry it through.
