Vijay, set to retire from acting after Jananayagan, is starring in the H. Vinoth-directed film alongside Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol. Buzz suggests the film is a remake of the Telugu hit Bhagavanth Kesari starring Balakrishna. Reports claim the makers paid ₹4.5 crore for the remake rights—mainly to recreate the impactful "Good Touch, Bad Touch" scene from the original. Filming is progressing rapidly.
