Karthik Subburaj became popular because of his films Pizza and Jigarthanda. Through his new launched production called Stone Bench he has chosen six short films and released it as a feature film. This film had a huge response.
Karthik Subburaj has mentioned, "We will very soon release Bench Talkies part 2. This film is being released worldwide. So in order to get a proper title we held a contest for the audience. All the title of my earlier films like Pizza and Jigarthanda were food related. The audience who sent the titles were also food related. Since Bench Talkies will have five varieties of stories, we decided to title the film Aviyal. This title was sent by Rajkumar who hails from Trichy. There will be more entertainment and laughter than the earlier Bench Talkies."
