And why wouldn’t he, when such a committed heroine is a part of his movie. Kumar said that the entire team was suffering due to viral infection except Jithan Ramesh and Karunas. Recalling how badly Mallika was affected, he said that she once fainted during the shooting. Even when the doctors advised her complete rest the actress was up for the shoot almost immediately and that too with the glucose syringe sticking out of her veins.

The lead pair, Jithan Ramesh and Mallika Kapoor, is well supported by comedian Karunas, said the director. He was also positive that Puli Varuthu will bring in a big break in Karunas career which will eventually elevate him to star status.
