Indrans shares honest feelings about the film

As reported by News 18, Indrans admitted that he initially felt nervous about acting in another language, especially alongside Suriya. "I usually feel scared acting in other language films. When I had to act with Suriya, I became even more nervous," he said. He further explained that he agreed to the role mainly because the character was written as a Malayali. "They kept telling me that the character was a Malayali. That gave me confidence. Otherwise, I would not have done the film," he shared honestly.
