dark
comedy
and

be
playing
an
IT
professional.
"For
the
first
time
in
my
life,
I
play
the

Hat-trick
On
The
Cards?
Sibiraj
is
confident
that
the
movie
will
be
a
box
office
success,
he
has
said,
"two
of
my
previous
films
were
hits,
and
I
am
sure
that
the
content
of
'Kattappavae
Kaanom'
has
the
capability
to
make
it
a
hat-trick."
On
Aishwarya
Rajesh
"Acting
alongside
a
national
award-winning
actress
is
a
huge
plus.
It
encouraged
me
to
deliver
a
performance
that
is
on
par
with
hers," he
told
DC.
On
Negative
roles
Sibi
tried
his
hand
at
a
negative
role
in
Jiiva's
Pokkiri
Raja.
But
the
actor
has
said
he
will
not
be
taking
up
such
roles
in
the
future.
"I
received
a
lot
of
offers
to
play
negative
roles.
But,
I
don't
want
to
do
such
roles
forever."
Other
Cast
&
Crew
While
cinematography
is
being
handled
by Anand
Jeeva, Santhosh
Dhayanidhi
has
been
composing
tunes
for
the
film.

from
the
lead
pair, Kattappava
Kanom

Release
Date
According
to
a
report,
the
makers
are
planning
to
release
the
film
before
the
end
of
this
year.
Speculations
has
it
that,
the
movie
might
release
during
Christmas.
Interestingly,
the
movie
will
have
Vijay
Sethupathi
lending
his
voice
and
the
same
will
be
used
to
convey
the
thoughts
of
the
fish.
While
many
were
wondering
what
prompted
Vijay
Sethupathi
to
take
out
time,
amidst
his
busy
schedule,
to
lend
his
voice
for
the
movie,
Sibiraj
has
revealed
that
Vijay
is
a
good
friend
of
his
and
agreed
to
be
a
part
of
the
project
without
much
of
an
ambiguity.
Another
question
that
was
lingering
on
in
everyone's
mind
was
why
the
makers
of
Kattappava
Kanom
didn't
go
with
Sathyaraj's
voice,
since
the
title
is
based
on
his
character
name
from
Baahubali.
Speaking
to
Deccan
Chronicle,
Sibiraj
has
answered
this
question.
"I
teamed
up
with
my
father
for
Jackson
Durai
which
became
a
hit,
so
I
didn't
want
to
make
him
a
regular
in
my
films.
In
addition,
using
his
character's
name
and
his
voice
would
not
come
as
a
surprise.
That
is
why
we
went
for
Vijay
Sethupathi,
who
is
a
very
good
friend
of
mine,"
he
has
said.
