Kamna will be seen as an angle in this film. We have completed the recording of songs. Chinna is providing good tunes. This is the aptly suitable subject for our hero Kamal.”

Finally we have got a wonderful subject which is sure to earn me a good image. We will complete the talkie part in October and release the film in December.”
