Production edit
Comedian Kadhal Sukumar began his career as a director in late 2012 through the production of Thirukkural, but the film was later shelved after a few schedules. His first release was consequently Thiruttu VCD featuring himself in a key role.[1] The film began production in 2014 and a press meet was held in September 2014.[2] The film is named after the three lead characters — who are portrayed by producer Prabha (Vinod), director Kadhal Sukumar (Chinna) and Mano (Dilli). Actress Sakshi Agarwal was supposed to make her Tamil film debut as a lead actress through the project, but production delays meant that her other films released first.[3] The film also marked a rare comeback appearance for actor Senthil.[4][5]
Release edit
The film subsequently had a low key release on 24 September 2015 and went unnoticed at the box office.[6] A reviewer from the New Indian Express gave the film a negative review, adding "unfortunately neither the action works nor the humour".[7] In contrast, a reviewer from the Tamil film portal IFlicks stated "though, the plot seems to be simple, the lead artists have performed realistically and the screenplay is commendable".[8] The film did not perform well commercially.[9]
