RJ Balaji's much-awaited Veetla Vishesham has finally hit screens today and the film has been receiving rave reviews from the audience. Veetla Vishesham is the remake of the Hindi film, Badhaai Ho (2018), directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma. The star cast for the Tamil version includes RJ Balaji, Aparna Balamurali, Urvashi, Sathyaraj and the late KPAC Lalitha. The plot revolves around a middle-aged couple, who get pregnant, much to the chagrin of their grown-up sons. Balaji has co-written and co-directed the film along with NJ Saravanan, with whom he had earlier teamed up for Mookuthi Amman, which had Nayanthara playing the titular character. The star cast for the Hindi version comprised Ayushmann Khurana, Sanya Malhotra, Gajaraj Rao, Neena Gupta and Surekha Sikhri.
