Soon, we realize that the man and the child share a connection that transcends centuries, dating back to the age of tribal warriors. The film also featured Bobby Deol and Disha Patani in key roles, marking their debut in Tamil cinema.

In addition to the core cast, the film had an ensemble of actors such as Natty Subramaniam, K. S. Ravikumar, Yogi Babu, Redin Kingsley, Kovai Sarala, Ravi Raghavendra, and more in important roles. Despite the hype surrounding its release, the film received negative reviews and ultimately tanked at the box office.

Moving forward, Suriya is currently involved in shooting for the tentatively titled Suriya 45. The movie is being helmed by RJ Balaji, with Trisha Krishnan playing the female lead.
