The film’s climax shows Karthik screening his incomplete movie at a local theater. Meera sits in the front row. The final shot: a blank screen with just the voicemail playing aloud. The audience — villagers, auto drivers, school kids — claps with tears.

Karthik made his directorial debut with the film "Chennai 2 Singapore" (2017), which starred himself and Arjun in the lead roles. Although the film received mixed reviews, Karthik's effort to explore new avenues in the film industry was appreciated.
