An interesting fact about this project is
that Karthik who made everyone sit up and
notice his performance, albeit a small one,
in Mani Ratnam’s Mouna Ragam would be
making a comeback as a villain. In fact Karthik’s
role in Mouna Ragam is considered as a benchmark
even now for guest appearances and the actor
brought in a fresh lease of life in the short
but intense role and made a memorable impact
on the audience.
As regards off screen cast, cinematographer
P C Sriram was to handle the camera for
this project but due to prior commitments,
he is said to have opted out of the project
and in his place comes Manikandan who has
worked in prestigious projects like Anniyan
in Tamil and Om Shanthi Om and Main Hoon
Na in Hindi. When a question was raised
about the main plot of the film, it was
understood that it would be based on the
story of the epic Ramayana. Readers may
recall that Mani Ratnam had earlier made
Thalapathy drawing inspiration from Mahabharata.
