Sharing his excitement, the actor revealed that the film is heavily driven by humour and promises to be an entertainment. Describing the atmosphere on set, Jayaram said, “After 20 years, we are starring in a film together. Shooting is going on, but a title has not been finalised yet. It has a massively entertaining, humour-filled narrative. Each scene will take about 10–15 takes as we would keep laughing in between shots. Pandiraj sir would wait for us to finish laughing to resuming shooting the next scene.”

While Tamil audiences fondly remember their collaboration in Panchatanthiram. In 2020, they reunited in the anthology Putham Pudhu Kaalai, which was released on Prime Video.Speaking about Urvashi’s acting talent, Jayaram recalled a scene from the sets of their upcoming film that highlighted her spontaneity. He said, “This film has a scene where she will repeat the exact same words that I would have told her not to say and then look at me while asking, ‘What I said was right?’ Nobody can pull off such an expression,” praising her performance style and impressive timing. Details regarding the story and additional cast members are being kept under wraps for now. An official announcement from the team is expected soon.

On the work front, Jayaram was recently seen in Kantara: Chapter 1 and has the Malayalam film Ashakal Aayiram lined up for release. Urvashi, meanwhile, received acclaim for her performance in Ullozhukku, earning both national and state awards. Their reunion under Pandiraj’s direction is now one of the most anticipated collaborations.
