Director Justin Prabhu says about the fil m, “This film is a biographical story of a r eal person. Beyond their own lives, how they face this society, how the environm ent makes them great people, the story has been developed in such a way that it will be based on the common people to t he great people. It will be a film that will motivate from small children to adults. There is a good social concept in this fil m. Everyone who watches the film can r elate to this story.
How parents in a family present their o pinion on their children, how this societ y views a woman, how a woman is critici zed in this society, and beyond that, how a father supports his daughter, how the hero, who comes as the heroine’s boyfri end, supports her, and how much import ance he gives to her success in life.
This is how a huge change is happening in that society that no one can easily br ring about. We have told something in t his story that neither the police nor the government can stop, something that if this is the case, everyone can lead thems elves safely. This has become a story tha at is relevant not only to the society but also to the government.
Earlier, I directed a short film called Kap ukkaraan, focusing on the lives of sanita tion workers. I also won an international film award for this. I have worked as an assistant director in some important fil ms. Since I live in an ordinary village, I se e everything from the perspective of ord inary people. Therefore, all my stories h ave a social perspective. I will direct film ms that are useful for the society and th e people,” he said.
