Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi had delivered one of the biggest hits of his career last year, with his 24th movie 96, directed by cinematographer turned director Premkumar, who made his directorial debut with the movie. They've been friends for long, and it was Premkumar's real life incidents that inspired Naduvula Konjam Pakkatha Kanom, one of the earliest hits of Vijay Sethupathi.

Collecting more than 50 crores, the movie had received patronage from the audience even after its television telecast that it ran in theaters for 100 days.
