Pongal is known as the Tamil New Year and it celebrates the festival of thanksgiving for the good harvest season, every year.

Hirani, who celebrated the festival for the first time shared, “Maddy (Madhavan) had invited me and Ritika for breakfast. But early this morning, he arrived at my residence with a veshti (lungi) and he insisted that I dressed in this traditional attire. Initially I was hesitant, but now I am feeling very nice and comfortable in this.”
