Participating in the audio and trailer launch of the film, Karthi had said, “You might have continued the practice of drinking water from plastic water bottles, but after watching this film, you won’t be able to ignore the point it looks to make. That is because we’re spoken about a truth that pertains to your health and that issue is bound to leave you shaken.”
For the unaware, director P S Mithran had, in ‘Sardar’, which was the prequel to ‘Sardar 2’, highlighted the issue of commercialisation of water. The film had gone on to emerge a huge blockbuster.
