Speaking about this, Ajayan Bala said, “It is very important to regularize the rights of film titles. Due to issues in this process, we had to change the title of our film even though we registered the title ‘Mylaanji’ a decade ago. We have completed the entire shoot in just one month. Most of the scenes were shot in Ooty and Chezhiyan’s cinematography will be much talked about. The film has taken shape as a beautiful emotional ride.”
Speaking further, he said, “It is very important to protect the environment as we have already feeling the ill-effects of climate change. The film has been conceptualised as a love story emphasizing this concept.”
