"Vijay really liked the script. He's excited to team up, but he's yet to give us dates as he's busy with multiple projects. If everything goes well, we may start work on this film from December," Manikandan told. Talking about the film, he said: "It'll be something very quirky and away from regular cinema. Unlike Kaaka Muttai, it'll deal with a lighter subject with good scope for humour. But it won't be a full-length comedy".
