Taking to his Instagram, Nag Ashwin shared a picture with producers Swapna Dutt and Priyanka Dutt. The director was seen raising a toast with the producers. Sharing the picture, he reflected on how the trio has grown since their debut film – ‘Yevade’ – which was released 10 years ago. He wrote, “Around 10 years ago, the three of us began our debut feature film "Yevade" together... Vyjayanti was at a low and this film was a risky one...I remember a day of shoot with 20 extras, and it rained...we couldn't finish and meant we had to come back and set up again.”

Here's to many more years of pushing boundaries and making cinematic history.”
