While it remains to be seen if the movie will be accepted by the audience, writer Sanjay is very clear that criticisims against Parvathy won’t affect their movie. According to him and the team of ‘Uyare’, Parvathy is a National award winning actress who they felt is most suited for the lead role in this movie. They are confident that if the content is good, all other external issues won’t be affecting the film.
