The imagery and mood convey a sense of psychological intrigue that left a strong impact on viewers. Speaking at the launch, actor Naveen Chandra said, “I’ve done many different roles in my career, but when director Karuna Kumar narrated this character, I was honestly scared. I’ve never heard of such a role before. This is a rare opportunity for any actor, and I’m thrilled to be part of such a bold story under Karuna Kumar’s direction. Audiences will see me in a completely new light.”

Director Karuna Kumar shared insights into the film’s theme, stating, “There are many real-life references in the story of Honey. It explores the dark corners of human desire and the consequences of obsession. Naveen Chandra’s performance and the emotional depth of the narrative will make this film stand out. We are aiming to deliver a unique cinematic experience.”

Producers Shekhar Master and Ravi Pilla expressed their excitement about the project, saying, “The moment we heard the story from Karuna Kumar, we were deeply moved. Naveen Chandra and Divya Pillai’s characters are extremely impactful. Principal photography has begun today.
