"When you sign on a film with another star, you obviously know what you are signing on for in terms of the role. But sometimes no matter how hard you’ve worked and done well, there’s very minimal value given to this at the end of the day. Because you contribute to the film as much as the star but no one talks about it," he continued.

While revealing that he chose not to opt for any negative roles further, he said that he does not want to be typecasted in the industry for doing similar roles.

Apart from the leading star, the film will also bring together Mamta Mohandas, Abhirami, Anurag Kashyap, Bharathiraja, and Munshikanth in some prominent roles.
