Debutant director Jai, who is on the verge of completing his Tamil thriller Andhra Mess, has said that he has used a different kind of narration for his first film. He has called it as 'magic realism'.

"It is a completely new style of narration called 'magical realism' signifying how a storyteller will tell his tale interestingly to his audience," Jai said in a statement.

Explaining further, Jai said, "This is an effort to take our cinema towards the next generation. We have tried to tell a story in a new style incorporating various aspects of alternative cinema with an aesthetic eye.

"Major portions of the film have been shot except for a few scenes and a song, which we are planning to shoot near Pune towards the end of the month," he added.
