Cops go there to investigate, only to stumble upon startling revelations.”

We have used extensive CG works and I am confident that like Sivi, the sequel will also be lapped up by people,” Senthil says. Chaams plays a crucial role of a hacker. Balaji, Kodhandam, Gayathri, Christin a n d Kumaran are in the supporting cast. BL Sanjay cranks the camera for the movie produced by Lalitha Kasturi.
