One day, he told me that he was going to produce a Hollywood film, and when I wished him luck, he surprised me saying that I should act in it. I told him that I cannot speak English that well and also have some Tamil film commitments. But he was insistent and said that I can shoot whenever I'm free.” About the storyline of the film, he said, “It's based on a true story about a local legend and I shot for my scenes last October. There is still some more work left and I will be shooting those portions sometime this month. We're planning to release the film in Tamil as well as I want my fans to watch the film. We'll make slight changes to the Tamil version and we have to shoot a few scenes for the same,” the actor said.
