Praveen Raja, Rajesh Giriprasad, Vasant Marimuthu, Imthias Mohammed, Vin Haadri, are getting introduced as actors.”

The film, sources say, is about a person’s ambition to go to the planet Mars. “Every person has a dream which they want to realise. A few make their dreams come true by their efforts, a few lose out after a struggle and some others let go of their dreams half way through. Chennai Palani Mars is about a man’s efforts to realize his dream. The film does not fall under one genre. It can be termed a black comedy, a fantasy film and a road movie all put together.”
