The audience can come watch it with their families and have a good laugh. There is a lot of natural humour and the film caters to all age groups.”

“There are two stars in the film, Kunchacko Boban and Jayasurya, and the film completely revolves around their story, families, and village. The film explores a different type of friendship between them, with Saji (in the title) played by Jayasurya” he added.
