In this Hansika Motwani's female-centric film directed by Jameel, STR plays the role of a pilot named 'Jameel', and his role is based on the real life incident that happened to a pilot in Goa 30 years ago, according to the words of the Director. In Maha, STR has a screentime of about 45 minutes, and will be seen in the flashback portions.
