Production
In May 2018, actress Vani Bhojan announced her debut in N4 and said it will be directed Lokesh Kumar.[citation needed] However, in the middle of 2019 citing date issues, Vani stepped out of the film.[6] The makers then announced that Airaa actress Gabriella Sellus has replaced her.[3] The film was completely shot in and around Royapuram fishing harbour.[7]
Reception
The film was released on 24 March 2023 across Tamil Nadu. Logesh Balachandran of The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and noted that "N4 is an honest attempt with intense emotions, and it's definitely worth watching."[8] Sowmya Rajendran from The News Minute stated that "N4's central idea seems to have been to look at how an accidental crime exposes power equations and systemic prejudice, without casting anyone as a vicious villain"[9] Maalai Malar critic gave 2.75 out of 5 and appreciated the film.[10]
