Cast

Production

In December 2014, Dhanush and Vetrimaaran announced that they would jointly produce a new film titled Annanukku Jai starring Dinesh, which would be directed by debutant Rajkumar. Later in the month, the team also agreed terms with Mahima Nambiar to play the film's lead actress.[1][2] However, the producers dropped the film and progress remained stagnant throughout 2015. Dinesh began working on the film again in February 2016, with a schedule held in Vettavalam, Tiruvannamalai District.[3][4]

Reception

Vishal Menon of The Hindu wrote, "It may have its flaws but the film packs just enough to keep things moving. Even otherwise, it’s a film you can watch for Dinesh alone…because it’s a joy to watch this actor cry".[5] M. Suganth of The Times of India wrote that "where the film scores the most is in the subtle ways in which it takes a dig at politics".[6]
