The
sudden
leak
has
indeed
bothered
many
as
it

impact
the

viewership
on
the
streaming
platform.
Written
and
directed
by
AC
Mugil
Chellappan
the
film
opened
to
a
lukewarm
response.
Though
the
performances
of
the
leading
actors
impressed
the
audiences,
the
storyline
and
concept
turned
out
to
be
a
big
led
down.
The
action-thriller
was
initially
slated
to
release
on
February
21,
2020,
however,
the
makers
had
to
postpone
the
date
owing
to
the
pandemic
and
the
subsequent
lockdown.
The
film
was
later
slated
for
a
digital
release.
Also

Nagesh,
the
film
has
Prabhu
Deva
playing

Notably,
this
is
the

time
when
the
actor
is
playing
a
cop
in
a
film.
