Adding to this, Mahesh also spoke a bit about working with Fahadh Faasil, who he considers as one of the most talented and versatile actors in the Indian Film Industry. He said, “This film is also special because I get to work once again with this very versatile actor - Fahadh. He has such a huge fan following that once when we were shooting a scene and almost 1500 people had gathered to watch him. That’s when I realized how big this project is. He is truly a superstar with quintessential acting skills and it's a gift to see him read the script once and understand what the character is. He puts his mind, body and soul into a movie and maybe that’s the reason he is being loved by so many people and is a superstar.”
