The costume designer of the film Eka Lakhani took to social media and posted a picture of her team along with director Mani Ratnam. Sharing the photo, Eka Lakhani wrote, “And one of the team with big boss himself! #ManiSir. Wrapping this monster of a sched with a full heart... Phew!!! Can’t believe we pulled this off in the COVID time. Thank you for all the support my girls! You guys kicked ass! Missing in the pic CK, our backbone and UB, our oxygen!
