The film is Behindwood’s first feature film production. The film is touted to be a dance musical. “The director’s unique vision is to make the theaters the happiest place for two hours, by celebrating music, dance, comedy and visuals. There will be no blood, gore or violence in any form in the movie. We are confident it will be a landmark movie in Indian cinema history,” said the film team in a release.

A R Rahman said, “A particular idea had been on my mind for quite some time, but I had set it aside. However, this project rediscovered it and captured my attention once again.” Talking about the project, Prabhu Deva said, “Excited to once again partner with the music dynamite that inspired choreographers.”

“The project aims to celebrate two iconic talents India has ever seen,” said director Manoj. The movie is going to be released in multiple languages including Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi. 

AR Rahman and Prabhudeva are masters of their respective crafts. Their last collaboration was in the 90s when they worked together on Rajiv Menon’s 1997 romantic musical Minsara Kanavu which marked Kajol’s debut in Tamil cinema. Their iconic songs Muqabla and Urvashi from the 1994 film Kadhalan were a massive success. They have also worked together on tracks like Chiku Buku Raile in the 1993 movie Gentleman, Romeo Aatam in Mr. Romeo (1996), and Petta Rap in Kadhalan.
