In a statement to the press, director Sanjeev, who had earlier directed Thaaka Thaaka featuring Vikranth in the lead, said: “I happened to meet Vijay Sethupathi sir some years back. I told him the gist of the story. After listening to it, he said he liked it and that it would be apt for Vikranth. Not just that, he also asked if he could write the dialogue for the film. I wondered how he would be able to do that as he is quite busy, but he said we can work during the spare time he has.”

Sanjeev added that the actor kept his word by working on the script post shoot. He said: “Vijay Sethupathi would contact me in the night after completing his shooting schedules and discuss the story. He improvised the script.”

Vikranth took to Twitter to express his gratitude to the actor.

Last seen in Nenjil Thunivirundhal directed by Suseenthiran, Vikranth is currently working on Vennila Kabaddi Kuzhu 2 directed by Selva Sarvanan, Suttu Pidikka Utharavu (co-starring Mysskin) directed by Ramprakash Rayappa and Bakrid directed by Jagadeesan Subu.

He is also working on Super Deluxe directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja, Petta directed by Karthik Subbaraj, Idam Porul Yaeval by Seenu Ramasamy, a Telugu film Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy in which he stars alongside Chiranjeevi.
