Along the way, they encounter Narasimhan with an almost identical car who makes small talk and tries to gel with the trio. After a night of drinking, the trio escapes the pub without his knowledge, but only later do they realize that in a drunken stupor, they have taken Narasimhan's car and not their own.

Production

Siddharth took a brief hiatus from acting after finishing Enakkul Oruvan (2015), before choosing to produce and appear in his next film. He chose to collaborate with newcomer Deeraj Vaidy on a comedy film titled Jil Jung Juk and the film was reported to be in production during May 2015.[1] The film's title was taken from a dialogue spoken by Vadivelu from Kaadhalan (1994) and refers to three different types of people.[2] The film's first look was released by director Karthik Subbaraj in late October 2015.[3][4] A single called "Shoot the Kuruvi" was released and won critical acclaim, helping promote the film prior to release.[5]
