This is a historical movie. It will be a fun-filled laughathon. It is a difficult genre. But the team hopes to pull it off. It is something on the lines of the famous Hollwywood flick of the 80s History of the World.

Keeping up with the trend of promoting new talents, Shankar entrusted Simbhudevan with the responsibility of the story, screenplay, dialogues and direction. The debutant has been an associate of Cheran.

The supporting cast is impressive in the form of Nagesh, Manorama, Nasser, Vennira Adai Moorthy, Sriman and Ilavarasu.

The other credits are: Cinematography: Arthur Wilson, Art: P Krishnamurthy, Songs: Pulamaipithan, Stunt: Super Subbarayan, Editing: Sasikumar, Dance: Sivasankar and Music: Sabesh Murali.

According to Simbudevan, 'It is a hilarious comedy film from the start to end. Shankar gave me enough liberty and encouraged me to come out with a quality film. Without his encouragement, we would not have completed the film.'

Since historical films are a rarity these days, we thought it would be appropriate to try out a comedy in a historical movie. Intensive research was done to present realism in the film, he added.

On choosing Vadivelu for the lead role, he said, 'Since it is a comical movie we thought an actor like Vadivelu would fit in. He has done a commendable job.' On his part Vadivelu, said, 'It was a challenge indeed to play the lead role. It has come good and I hope the audience will appreciate our effort'.

History is no joke. But to present it in that form, needs a serious mind. We will know soon whether Simbudevan has that or not.
