Reason 1

Geethu says the character Nadia needed both softness and rage. "After watching Kiara's work closely, I felt no one else could do it," she explains. She believes that in cinema, emotion is a stronger medium than logic, and her choice was an emotional one that went beyond pure reasoning.

Reason 2

The director praises Kiara's amazing ability to embody her roles. "When she's on screen, it doesn't feel like acting; the character stands before you," she says. Geethu notes that Kiara is a girl who makes a deep impact quietly, thinks about her role, and has the skill to grasp a director's vision.

Elections became an obstacle for the release of the film

The film's release faces a hurdle due to elections. With voting in Tamil Nadu starting on April 23 and actor Vijay contesting, the film cannot be released until May 6. The team is reportedly waiting, as the election results could impact the film's performance.
