Siva said that Priya Anand has one of the toughest parts in the film as her character has to convince others that she’s not mentally deranged, even while her behaviour can be eccentric at times. Priya Anand is playing the role done by Lakshmi ma’am in the classic.

Karunakaran will play the role of Srikanth in the original. He said that the script of the new version is also a lot of fun, and the director has retained the essence while giving it a new-age twist.

The original song was a huge hit upon its release and continues to be popular even today. So, we wanted to do the new version in such a way that it doesn’t distort the classic one. concluded the director.
