Kamal Haasan announced the project

Notably, earlier this month, Kamaal spoke about the project for the first time at the SIIMA Awards. The Thug Life actor shared, "We don't know if it's a Tharamana Sambavam (wonderful occurrence), but it's good if the audience likes it. If they're happy, we'll like it. Otherwise, we'll continue trying. This was long coming. We were separate because they gave one biscuit to both of us. But the half biscuit makes us both happy, so we'll come together."

He added, "It is you all who thought/created the competition. We don't have any competition between us. It's important that we get the chance to do this. He is like that, so am I. It might be a surprise, business-wise, but we feel at least now it's happening. We always wanted to produce each other's films."

Kamal Haasan was last seen in Mani Ratnam's Thug Life. The film received mixed reviews upon release and underperformed at the box office. On the other hand, Rajinikanth was last seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie. The film was released in theatres on Independence Day weekend to mixed reviews.
