7. What made you wait for four years after your last film Current?
Ans: Frankly, it took me two years to find the story and the filming went on for two years. That is why the gap and though it has been late, we are very happy with the end result.

Ans: The entire credit goes to Karthik. It was his story that we firmly believed in and the way he has shot the film made us very confident about our project.
