In an interview with The Times of India, Sarathkumar had said, "I’ll be joining the team this month. We will be shooting from May till August. All I can say is that it’s a very powerful script where the importance of me being part of it was necessary. It’s a subject that will get the attention of all kinds of audiences.”

The Supreme Star expressed happiness that he’ll be working with Vijay. “During the film’s muhurat, we spoke about how we had met during the 250th-day function of Suriyavamsam at Kamala Theatre, and how I’d predicted on stage that he’d be the next superstar. He, too, remembered that. And I’m happy I was right,” he added, in an interview.
