However, a few viewers did not like the dubbing video and criticized the colour, visual effects and lighting.
Please concentrate on Color and vfx .. it didn’t feel like 500 crore movie

Recently, Vikram’s fans were a little tensed after he was admitted to a hospital in Chennai after a little discomfort in chest. A section of media claimed that Vikram suffered a heart attack. These reports were denied by his son Dhruv. Due to the illness, he couldn’t attend Ponniyin Selvan’s teaser launch event in Chennai last week.
