As this is her 75th film, I’m deeply committed to delivering a film that is worthy of the trust and confidence she has in us. A large volume of what I’ve learnt about filmmaking comes from director Shanker, my guru, alma mater, and mentor. My sincere salutations to him, as we gear up to walk the talk and commence shooting, soon.”
Commenting on the association, Akshay Kejriwal, Head – South Movies, Zee Studios, says, “We are extremely delighted and proud to announce our collaboration on this very prestigious milestone film of Nayanthara.
