Sethupathi also shared the same poster on his page.

Billed as a realistic drama, the film also stars Indrajith Sukumaran and Indrans.

Menen was last seen on the big screen earlier this year in Tamil thriller "Psycho" and made her digital debut with Amazon Prime Video's "Breathe: Into The Shadows".

Whereas, Sethupathi recently opted out of Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan's biopic following opposition, with a section alleging that the spinner was a betrayer of the Tamil people and supported the then Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa during the 2009 civil war.
