The team of Anbil Avan held a thanks meet last evening, celebrating the audience response to the film and acknowledging the support from the press, media and viewers. The team members reflected on the film’s journey, its theatrical performance and the response to its unique genre shift.
Anbil Avan begins as a warm romantic drama before gradually moving into mystery, thriller and action territory. The film’s emotional core, along with the natural chemistry between Ashok Selvan and Preity Mukundhan, remains one of its key strengths. The changing narrative also gives the lead actors an opportunity to explore different shades in their performances.
Producer Abinaya Selvam thanked the press and media for standing by the film from the beginning. She noted that despite several films releasing on the same day, the team remained confident in their content and proceeded with the release. According to her, the film began picking up strongly, with its Day 3 collection surpassing Day 1, and the team is now looking forward to an exciting second week.
She also praised Ashok Selvan for his complete dedication to the project, stating that the actor showcased a different dimension through his performance. Preity Mukundan was described as a dedicated artist and a sweetheart, while the producer credited the entire cast and technical crew for working together as one family. She also acknowledged director Karthikeyan for bringing their vision to life and music director Govind Vasantha for giving the film its soul.
Producer Kavitha Pandian expressed gratitude to the press and media for their support, adding that the team was overwhelmed by the response. She revealed that the number of shows began increasing from Saturday and thanked the online and offline promotional teams for their contribution. The team also plans to take the film to a wider audience through further promotions.
Director R. Karthikeyan thanked the press and media for their role in the film’s success and revealed that Anbil Avan has already entered the profit zone. He said the response from audiences has been overwhelming, particularly considering the film released alongside several other titles. He also noted that the increase in screens has given the film further momentum.
Karthikeyan extended special thanks to Yuvraaj for his constant support throughout the film’s journey and praised Ashok Selvan and Preity Mukundhan for their dedication. He credited both actors for bringing their respective characters to life and thanked everyone who contributed to the film.
Preity Mukundan became emotional while speaking about the response to Anbil Avan. She thanked the press, media and audiences for their support, describing the film as a very important milestone in her life. Recalling her first viewing of the film, she said she was moved to tears and felt proud to be part of such a heartfelt cinematic experience.
Ashok Selvan began by thanking the audience, crediting strong word of mouth for helping the film significantly. He revealed that the team attempted several new ideas, particularly through the film’s shift in genre, and said many viewers connected with the story on a personal level.
The actor also acknowledged that the film has its flaws, while expressing confidence that it could find greater appreciation over time, particularly on OTT. He recalled how his earlier films Kootathil Oruthan and Nitham Oru Vaanam initially received mixed responses before gaining appreciation later. Ashok Selvan urged audiences not to miss the opportunity to experience Anbil Avan in theatres, adding that the film has already entered the profit zone and still has room to grow.
