Touted to be a rom com, Hey Sinamika will have Kajal Agarwal and Aditi Rao Hydari playing the female leads. The technical crew of this film includes Govind Vasantha for music with Preetha Jayaraman handling the camera. The film is bankrolled by Jio Studios, which will be its first production venture in Kollywood.
