This is a wonderful experience and I'm thankful to director Sarov Shanmugam for bringing such a wonderful script where we all could fit in. Thank you to Suriya sir for getting an idea on casting Arnav in this movie. Nothing was planned, it all happened." 

Talking about training his son's acting debut, Arun Vijay further added-

 "As a kid, he is very confident and I thought he is so innocent that he shouldn't be influenced by any of us on how to do and what to do. As an actor, I only taught him where the camera is and to react to it. I taught him technical details, the rest I wanted him to learn organically. I didn't want him to get influenced in any way. He pulled it off well. They had a workshop, where all kids bonded, also with the dog"
