Abhinesh Elangovan liked the film after he watched it. “After D16' I was impressed with this film, mainly its script. So I decided to associate myself with the project. “

Director Sakthi said the entire team was like friends to him. “I spent eight months to write the script. That has resulted in people saying that screenplay is the biggest plus of the film. I wanted to deal with an issue that will connect with everyone and that's why I took up Education. When we researched about the subject we got material to make a series of films. I added commercial elements instead of making it as a raw film. The three songs you watched are the commercial compromises. I have felt that films like Onaayum Attukuttiyum' would have done better if they had songs. Such things are essential. The film was ready for release in January itself. But Sakthivelan sir insisted on releasing it during the summer holiday season as many students would have completed their board exams and the film will have an impact on them at this time. “

Actor Kalaiyarasan said "Yeidhavan will be a very important film in my career. Please support the film and watch it theaters. I am confident that the film will be a hit. "

When a question was raised about the absence of the heroine Satna Titus in the promotional event, the makers said that she could not take part because she has got married in February.

Yeidhavan' will be hitting the screens on May 5, 2017.
