The director of the film added, "I was in Mumbai working with filmmaker Shankar on Enthiran. My pal informed me that we were shooting outside SRK's residence. He requested me to take a picture in front of the gate. After 13 years, the same gate opened, and King Khan himself said, "Welcome, Atlee sir." So it is true. Good things will happen in your life if you appreciate ladies. “ He added, “Nayanthara was unable to attend today due to Onam. She remains in Kerala."

Film producer Gokulam Gopalan said, “We are really delighted to make this film because it stars a great actor, SRK, as well as a big south Indian actress, Nayanthara, who is from Kerala. This film was primarily directed by Atlee, a talented filmmaker.  I am extremely proud that Tamil Nadu is expanding in all directions. Our Tamil cinema is now entering Bollywood and will soon be entering Hollywood. This will almost certainly be a box office smash.”
