Production
[edit]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.[1] Later in the month, the team also agreed terms with Mahima Nambiar to play the film's lead actress.[2] However, the producers dropped the film and progress remained stagnant throughout 2015. Dinesh began working on the film again in February 2016.[3][4]
Critical reception
[edit]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]
