Along with him, Sri Lankan actor Losliya will also be making her acting debut in Friendship.
According to Bollywood Hungama, Harbhajan Singh was reportedly chosen to play the role after his popularity with fans in Tamil Nadu surged ever since he played for Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Following his stint in IPL, he was offered to play the role of an angry young 'college student' from Punjab in Friendship. Prominent Tamil actors Arjun Sarja and Sathish joined the film to play the role of an antagonist and Harbhajan's close friend, respectively. Sri Lankan news anchor Losliya Maresan who had appeared in Bigg Boss Tamil Season 3 was cast as the female lead opposite Harbhajan Singh. The film was initially scheduled to release around August 2020 but was postponed by the filmmakers for an unspecified release date in early 2021.
