Cast

Production

Sridhar Venkatesan had previously made the Sithiram Kolluthadi segment in the anthology film, 6 Athiyayam (2018).[1] Santhosh Prathap and Deepak Paramesh were cast in the lead roles, while Athulya Ravi signed on to play the lead female role in early 2018.[2]

In November 2020, the makers spoke out against Athulya for refusing to promote the film.[3]

Release

Prior to its theatrical release, the film was selected to be a part of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Film Festival.[4][5]

The film was released on 27 November 2020.[6] The Times of India gave the film two-and-a-half out of five stars, noting "even if we don't have to buy into the film's ideals, the earnestness with which it goes about its work kind of makes us look upon it a bit more favourably.".[7] Maalaimalar gave the film a middling review concluding that its premise was unclear.[8]
