28.08.2015, #ThaniOruvan released and gave us memories we’ll cherish forever. Exactly 11 years later, on the very same date, #KaratheyBabu begins its journey. Maybe it’s just a
coincidence. Or maybe, some dates are destined to find you. @iam_RaviMohan sir♥️ pic.twitter.com/y4ZPlhzuvu— ganesh.k.babu (@ganeshkbabu) June 26, 2026
