It touches upon the problems that many immigrants are facing worldwide. Talking about it, Dhanush told IANS: "We have dealt with the issue of immigration in a very positive way in the film.

A young actor who has worked extensively in the south Indian film industry, Dhanush is a National Award winning artiste who has made his mark with movies like Aadukalam, Kaaka Muttai and Visaranai.

Asked about how collaborating with international actors has widened his vista, he said: "It was a great experience of working with actors coming from different countries and (knowing) a different school of thought. I have observed a lot during the filming and learnt about their perspective on acting.

The film has travelled to some international film festivals already.

Dhanush said it is pretty overwhelming to see he has fans outside India and they liked the film.

"I think the film worked for them. We have gone to some of the key markets where the audience appreciated the film. Having said that, I think I am too young and new to comment on the business and market of the film at the international market. Of course, there is potential, but I cannot analyse it."

The movie has been screened in many film festivals and in these it has not just managed to get rave reviews, and awards but also managed to smash box office collections.
