Other cast and crew details are expected to be made known in the coming days for this yet to be titled film, which will reportedly flag off around August 2018.
This update now puts a rest to all those other rumors that stated the film would be helmed by Karthik Subbaraj. Looks like we will just have to wait for some more time for a word on that project.
