"I'll get the casting director on the line," Karthik said, grabbing the phone.
"That’s the risk, sir," Karthik said. "The audience in 2025 is ruthless. They have the OTT pause button in their minds. They walk into theaters with 4K home theaters in their pockets.

"This is our project for 2025," Rathnam said. "I’m greenlighting it."
