He keeps longing for a relationship, and finally falls in love with a girl in a fantasy situation, during a journey to Coonoor. The story revolves around the couple’s travel through a single night.”

Kamal goes on to talk about the idea of casting GV Prakash and Raiza Wilson in the lead. “GV Prakash was my choice for the role, even before the production house came on board. I strongly believed that he would be the best person to play the role. We wanted a fresh and interesting lead pair for the film. So we thought of casting Raiza as the female lead. I loved her performance in Pyaar Prema Kaadhal, and she also wanted to be a part of a unique script.”

The film starring Guru Somasudaram as the antagonist, also has actors like Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuththu-fame Shah Ra, Kalakapovadhu Yaaru-fame Ramar, and Anandaraj. Actor Senthil will also be seen in a cameo.
