"Madurai is the heartbeat of the Tamil film industry. The amount of love and craze the films command among the fans here is unbelievable. We were determined enough even before we could start the film that the audio launch has to happen only in Madurai. The swelling popularity of our hero Sivakarthikeyan is one major factor behind this decision," producer RD Raja was quoted as saying by The Times of India.  

"The core content of the film is hugely based on rural back ground of the southern part of our state, it weighed upon our mind and was a very conscious and consensual decision to conduct the event in Madurai. I am sure the fans and general audience will throng in huge numbers and make this event a grand success," Raja added. 

Seema Raja is an out-and-out comedy flick which has D Imman's music, Balasubramaniem's cinematography and Vivek Harshan's editing. Ponram, who directed Sivakarthikeyan in Varuthapadatha Valibar Sangam and Rajini Murugan, is at the helm of the project.

The movie will hit the screens in September.
