They then shortlisted five, and with Shankar's own film, it became six short films.<ref name="deccanchronicle.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/amp/entertainment/kollywood/300317/hexa-a-new-attempt-in-the-offing.html|title=Hexa, a new attempt in the offing|website=www.deccanchronicle.com}}</ref> In addition, for most of the directors, it is their debut film, with the exception of Cable Sankar who had previously directed the film, ''[[Thottal Thodarum]]'' (2015).
