"After '8 Thottakkal', I was thinking about multiple stories and discussing a few with Atharvaa. I am sure Atharvaa can do an action story, and he was surprised when I narrated the story as it also has some surprising elements. The entire story is focused on Atharvaa and baby Divya Darshini's characters."

The energetic director feels lucky to have Priya Bhavani Shankar as the female lead. He revealed, "Priya was the first choice for the female lead, but she couldn't accept to do the role as the shooting dates clashed with her other films. Then I couldn't find a replacement for her. But later some of her films got delayed, and she came on board and did the role excellently. Priya's role in 'Kuruthi Attam' will establish herself as a performer."

Sri Ganesh feels blessed to have worked with some phenomenal actors. "It was a memorable experience working with Radha Ravi and Raadhika. Interestingly, both the actors get engrossed in their characters while shooting for the film. Radha Ravi sir is like a 65-year-old friend for me as he is always friendly and he also gave moral support to me while being there on the sets."

"Some surprises await to be unveiled on big screens. But baby Divyadarshini should be praised for sure. She is a divine child, and she will reach great heights in cinema. She has completed most of the sequences in single or couple takes, and she is never afraid of cameras and other expert stars on the set."

About the long delay, Sri Ganesh reasons, "The delay in the release has made me a mentally strong person, and I am never afraid about the delay. Since the story will not get outdated, I am waiting to serve the film to the audience. I have watched 'Kuruthi Aattam' almost 500 times, and 3 times after the final copy. But I am excited for the film's release to know the audience's response."
