The music for the film is scored by Balamurali Balu. The first single "Demonetisation anthem" was released during November 2017 and became viral despite controversies.[5] The song was inspired from the demonetisation which was imposed by Indian Prime minister Narendra Modi on 8 November 2016.[6]

Accolades
  • This film was officially selected at Toronto International Tamil Film Festival[7]

Controversy

A theme song about demonetisation called "Demonetisation anthem" which was sung by actor Silambarasan was released during the occasion of the first anniversary of the note ban in India in November 2017.[8] However the song raised controversies among political fraternity particularly for its content on criticising the demonetisation.[9] Actor Simbu was under scanner for singing the song and was provided special police protection.[10][11]
