Looks like Soundarya has been busy with the pre-production of the series for the past few years when she was absent from the limelight. She last made Velaiilla Pattadhari 2 in 2017, while Kochadaiiyaan (2014), a 3D animated movie, was her debut directorial venture.

Ashok Selvan, on the other hand, is fresh out of a blockbuster hit Por Thozhil, which turned out to be the biggest theatrical success in recent time for a mid-sized film. Other than the upcoming series, he has Blue Star and Sabhaa Nayagan lined up for release.

Meanwhile, Soundarya’s elder sister Aishwarya Rajinikanth is busy with her fourth directorial venture, titled Lal Salaam. The film has Rajinikanth in an extended cameo and Vishnu Vishal and Vikranth in the lead roles.
