We had earlier reported that the previous producers had given the green signal for the shoot without adequate funds. And that the shooting had to be halted midway because of this.
However, Vishnu Vishal clarified to us that this was not the case and that shoot had never begun. He replied to Silverscreen on Twitter with this tweet:
Thnk you for the write up.. just a small correction..the shoot never started before this..only movie was launched with a pooja 🙏today was the first day of shoot:)

Vishnu Vishal mentioned in his tweet that he felt like a student returning to school after a term break.
After 6 months of script reading, discussions, few injuries, physical training and making a lot of new changes in me, getting back into a set for shoot :):)
Feel like a little kid excited to get back to school after his holidays 🙂 let’s go!#FIRBegins https://t.co/JoQGgV1C9S

The film’s theme revolves around terrorism wherein a young Muslim boy finds himself in a difficult circumstance. Raiza Wilson, Manjima Mohan, and Reba Monica John will be playing the female leads in the film. South Indian movie tracker Prashanth Rangaswamy too has a significant role in the film. Arul Vincent will be handling the camera with N Ashwath composing music and Prasanna GK on the edit.
The film will hit screens next year.
