Veteran actor Sridevi’s untimely death last year sent the entire country into shock. In the film, Priya plays the role of a lonely actress who drowns in a bathtub which is seen in the teaser of the film.

The film’s teaser shows Priya’s death in a bathtub which is uncannily similar to Sridevi’s death and that has irked the legendary actress’ husband producer Boney Kapoor. Reportedly, Boney has sent a legal notice to the film’s makers. Prasanth confirmed this to a portal and said, “We received a legal notice from Mr Boney Kapoor last week. And we will face it. My film is a suspense thriller. I told him (Boney Kapoor) that Sridevi is a common name. My film's character also happens to be an actress. We will face it (the legal case)."
