She shared a picture with Vijay and wrote, "Dear Vijay sir after the incredible experience of thalaivii happy to be basking in your glory again love to be your team and take your commands. Thankyou sir."
The muhurat of the film was graced by Rajinikanth who gave a surprise visit to the set. The production house shared pictures on Instagram and wrote, "Grateful and honoured to receive the blessings of SUPERSTAR RAJINIKANTH as we kickstart our new project with @tridentartsoffl, featuring Kangana Ranaut and Madhavan together again after 8 years! Watch this space for more updates."
Presented by Trident Arts, with their 18th production and produced by R. Ravindran, the music for the film is composed by the talented G.V. Prakash Kumar. Nirav Shah serves as the Director of Photography (DOP). The psychological thriller will be a bilingual release in Hindi and Tamil.
Workwise, Kangana was last seen in Tejas. She played the titular role of an Air Force pilot who shows grit and courage while dealing with life-threatening circumstances. The film failed to work at the box office and opened to negative reviews. She ventured into regional cinema with Raghava Lawrence's Chandramukhi 2. The horror-comedy sequel was a complete washout in the Tamil market with no traces in the Hindi belt. Kangana is returning as a director with Emergency, which got pushed to 2024.
R Madhavan received a National Film Award for Rocketry: The Nambi Effect. He acted and produced the film while directing the biopic of Nambi Narayanan.
