Production[edit]
After working in the field of VFX for a few years, Vijay Kuppuswamy - credited as V - debuted as a director and an actor with Vishamakaran, a drama based on the concept of manipulation. The film was launched in August 2020, and the entire production was finished within two months. The shoot was done in Chennai – at a resort on the East Coast Road, an office on the Old Mahabalipuram Road, and a studio.[3] The team then launched Honey Flicks, a software to streamline production management workflow, after the completion of the film. The launch of the tool was attended by film personalities including Mani Ratnam and Prashanth.[4]
Reception[edit]
The film was released on 27 May 2022 across Tamil Nadu. A reviewer from Maalai Malar gave the film a mixed review, but praised the climax.[5] A critic from ChennaiVision wrote "while the conflict between the tow relationships is shown in an effective manner, the writing could have been a little better", while a reviewer from NewsToday wrote "had the filmmaker made the screenplay tight and more cogent leading to the climax, it would have been a different film."[6][7] Critic Malini Mannath wrote "the film has an urban setting, English spoken most of the time, a smattering of Tamil thrown in. It has a glossy look, with exotically designed interiors and aesthetic backdrops. But a feel of artificiality prevails".[8][9]
