Roopa Radhakrishnan of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote "This quality of the film invariably leads to Star being lifelike, even when it's exaggerated".[26] Janani K of India Today gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "However, it ended up as a showreel more than a emotional and inspiring documentation of his life".[27] Manigandan KR of Times Now gave 3/5 stars and wrote "However, it refuses to rise up to that point and just ends being an entertainer".[28] Ashwin Ram of Moviecrow gave 2.75/5 stars and wrote "Had all the potential to be a cracker of a flick if it had retained the same energy and empathy throughout as done till the halfway mark. Yet a fine flick to give a shot for the performances, music and loads of nice moments it offers in the first hour".[29]

The new film, which co-stars Anushka Shetty, Shruti Haasan and Thakur Anoop Singh, traverses India, Australia, Singapore, Georgia and Romania as Suriya's character, dubbed a "universal cop," investigates an international crime network.

The producer, Gnanavel Raja of Studio Green, told local media the production has already recouped 100 crore from the distribution and satellite rights. Raja has lashed out at a piracy website calling itself Tamil Rockers which announced on Facebook it will start live streaming the film at 11 am on the day of release. He accused the Tamil Nadu Film Producers Council of doing too little to combat piracy and said he will run for office at the council's upcoming elections.

The film will compete with a bunch of new releases including the Akshay Kumar comedy Jolly LLB 2, horror movie Rings and Warner Bros' The Lego Batman Movie as well as the second weekend of Bogan, the Tamil action comedy starring Jayam Ravi and Arvind Swamy.

Don't ever take panga with the South stars! Despite Bollywood making movies with budgets and therefore more hit by losses incurred by piracy, there have been very lax measures to curb the menace. However, piracy is strictly frowned upon down South, and many stars are doing their best to catch culprits who are uploading movies online without copyright permissions. Tamilrockers, a very popular piracy group, is quite active on the torrents scene, and who uploads Bollywood, Hollywood, Tamil and Malayalam movies. Recently the third admin of the site, Gauri Shankar has been arrested by the Triplicane D-1 Police in Chennai. And perhaps it was all because of the persistent efforts of Tamil star Vishal.

Vishal, who will be next seen in Thupparivaalan as well as be making his Malayalam debut in Mohanlal's Villain, has been warning the owners of Tamilrockers website for the past three years to shut down the site. Earlier this year, when he won the Tamil Producers' Council Elections as the president, this is what Vishal had told the media present, "A young team has won and we are giving a challenge to pirates like Tamilrockers as we will tackle the menace head on." Now with his efforts, a breakthrough has been made in curbing the piracy menace.

However, like we said before, Gauri Shankar is only the third admin of the site, and the site can only be shut down if they catch the second admin and the owner of the site. Investigations are going on to find the identities of these people.

The Pro Kabaddi League has announced the full list of retained players ahead of the season 10 auction. Tamil Thalaivas has released its record signing, star India raider Pawan Sehrawat ahead of the auction in September.

The team has also backed Ajinkya Pawar, a do-or-die raid specialist for the side who was also given significant leadership responsibility last season. With a calm head on his shoulders, Pawar took to the role with interest and was key in holding the side together in crunch games, particularly after Sagar too sustained an injury.

Ashan Kumar has placed value on the players who stepped up in impossible situations last season and it will be interesting to see the pedigree of experience the management decides to go for in the auction to complement a rather fearless young talent pool already with the side.
