Why Idli Kadai exists

Dhanush talked openly about the extremely personal reasons for Idli Kadai, his fourth film as a director, during the event. He said, looking back on his childhood, "As a kid, I always wanted idlis, but I could never get them. My sister and I would pick flowers in our neighborhood and sell them. We would get up at 4 a.m., labour for a few hours, and earn approximately Rs 2. Then we would proceed to the idli shop after taking a bath at a nearby pump set. Eating four or five idlis that we purchased for ourselves was the most satisfying thing ever."

He said that the movie's plot was based on this cherished recollection, which is why Idli Kadai was so important to him.
