In an interview to Behindwoods, Cheran spoke about his experience working with as assistant director on the sets of Mahanadhi, a classic 1994 drama scripted by Kamal Haasan and directed by Santhana Bharathi.

Cheran conveyed that he still regrets leaving 'Mahanadhi' midway due to creative differences. The actor-director said that "It was a mistake. left the project is a hasty way. I felt the decision was correct at the time, but looking back after fifteen years, I realized how big that mistake was."

"He (Kamal Haasan) has an unflinching eye for the finer details of every film. It required a lot of effort and hard work for us to compete with him. No matter how hard we tried, we used to falter at some places.

Naturally, an artist will get angry if they can't create what they intended to, and this leads to disappointment. I felt that I was also responsible in such cases and I stepped down from the project after realizing it. Later as a filmmaker, I went through the same emotions when my assistants couldn't deliver what was expected out of them."

Cheran believed that this incident was also a reason for his bond with Kamal Haasan. Cheran revealed that he is currently focusing on his next project with actor Vijay Sethupathi, which has been in the making for three years.
