Actress Aishwarya Rajesh is set to play the role of a cab driver who gets embroiled in a murder case.
Earlier, speaking to a leading media house about the movie, story teller P. Kinslin stated, “The drama will depict a series of events that transpires in a single day, and how that impacts the life of a woman cab driver. Actress Aishwarya Rajesh has given her best. As part of preparation for the role, she interacted with a bunch of real-life women cab drivers to get to know their gestures and learn from their experience.” Talking about actress Aishwarya Rajesh’s performance, P. Kinslin said, “There were portions where she had to perform while she was driving the car. She managed to focus on driving without compromising on her performance. We had a couple of chasing sequences. We shot them live on road. Without opting for a dupe, Aishwarya Rajesh did it herself. She stunned our stunt master Anal Arasu and the people on the sets.”
