Santosh Sivan wanted his mentor Mani Ratnam to watch Urumi and arranged for a special screening in Chennai, though he was away in Thiruvananthapuram to promote the film, on March 30th.
Soon after watching this film, the veteran director, who has films like Roja, Raavan and Thalapathy to his credit, said that Urumi has come out excellently. Mani Ratnam not only praised Santosh for handling the film well but also the stars who had acted in it.
Urumi has Prithviraj, Prabhu Deva, Genelia, Tabu, Vidya Balan and others in the star cast.
