Director Santhosh P Jayakumar, whose upcoming film Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuthu starring Gautham Karthik has been slated for a May 4 release, has released a statement requesting everyone to watch and treat the film as, and only as, an entertainer.

In a press meet at Prasad Film Lab today in which Gautham Karthik, Santhosh, Yashika Anand and others participated, Santhosh said, "This is my second film, and it's an adult horror comedy. Some of you might wonder why I make such films and ruin the industry, instead of films with messages. But this is a genre, and it has its place everywhere in world cinema. This film will only be an entertainer, and I request everybody to treat it that way only."

Gautham, in his speech, praised the three female leads of the film - Vaibhavi Shandilya, Yaashika Aanand and Chandrika Ravi - to have agreed to star in the film, given that it was an adult comedy subject.
