Vignesh Shivan praises Kavin's 'Star'; calls it, ‘honest film without conventional compromises’

Filmmaker Vignesh Shivan is all praise for Star director Elan. He called the Kavin-starrer, an 'honest film without any conventional compromises'.

Taking to his Instagram stories, Vignesh shared a still from the film and wrote, " Star is a movie that will make you feel hopeful and dream freely! #Elan has made an honest film without any conventional compromises! May the audience embrace you with a lot of love!"

The film features Kavin Lal, Aaditi Pohankar, Preity Mukhundhan and Geetha Kailasam and narrates the story of Kalai, a youngster who strives to fulfil his dream of becoming an actor but goes through a series of obstacles.

Praising the actor, he wrote, "Kavin @kavin.0431 such a towering performance! So much of hard work and conviction! The way u carried the film and understood your role and delivered it is highly commendable :) @itsyuvan as usual remains the back bone of this emotional saga! Lal sir, mom character, new girl @preity_mukhundhan."

He added, ""The DOP and mainly @pradeeperagay the editor, have all done memorable work. Good luck at the box office, guys! This pic! Is such a story, and so is the film. Similar to many of the dreamers', giving a heads up to keep dreaming."

The coming-of-age romantic drama, in the meantime, has opened to mixed reviews at the box office. This is Kavin's next after his last super hit, Dada, which made him an actor to reckon with.
