Chatting to a leading daily in the state about the project, newbie director Kishore Muthuramalingam, stated, “If you look at other film industries you can find a good number of films made on the lives of middle class people. But in Tamil cinema we just use that as a backdrop for our mass action films. For a change, I wanted to make a film on the lifestyle and mood of the middle class people, and so the title. The movie is about a family of four who moves to Chennai from their native with big aspirations. It also covers the life of people who have moved to Chennai in the past few decades. The entertainer will be an out and out comedy drama with a right dose of emotions. I hope the audience will like it.”
