In June, Nayanthara and Vignesh married in an intimate ceremony surrounded by family and close friends. Actors Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan, Suriya, and Vijay, and filmmakers Mani Ratnam and Atlee, attended the wedding at Sheraton Grand, Mahabalipuram. Nayanthara and Vignesh wanted to marry in Tirupati; but since they were unable to do so, the couple reportedly invited priests from Tirupati to perform their wedding rituals.

Soon after their wedding, the couple jetted off to Thailand. Vignesh had shared glimpses of their first vacation as a married couple on Instagram in June. Recently, Nayanthara and Vignesh posed with the national flag as they celebrated Independence Day 2022 in Spain, where they were vacationing.

The film, directed by Atlee, is set to be released in the theatres in June 2023.
