When Chithra Lakhman asked why Simbu couldn’t work in the film, Linguswamy said “Simbu had lot of commitments at that time. I couldn’t narrate story to him as my wish and the atmosphere didn’t allow me to do what I wish to do as well. I don’t know how people see me as a filmmaker. But I won’t attend calls during my film’s shooting. I work for my film with uttermost sincerity. Apart from success and failures, I give more importance to discipline. Punctuation is important to me. Those who couldn’t work with the same sincerity will not connect with me. After realizing it, I chose Arya to do the role who respects me a lot”
