While the official announcement has been made, more details about the casting are yet to be confirmed. Prem Kumar on negative reviews In recent times, director Prem Kumar made the headlines after criticising the negative reviews rising in Tamil cinema.

It is a huge problem, and it is getting bigger day by day.' 'We used to have reviewers around us, but what we see today… the breed, they are not reviewers. They have their own targets, and they are uncivilised, is what I would say. The language they use, their agenda is very negative, and they are targeting the first week's revenue,' he added. Interestingly, Prem Kumar had confirmed that he is set to make a sequel to Vijay Sethupathi and Trisha Krishnan starrer 96. The movie, likely titled 96 Part 2, will once again feature the actors in lead roles.
