Speaking about the film Thambi, Karthi said that they did not have any plans to rope in Jyothika initially. However, as the production of the film began, they as makers realised that there was a powerful character within the role of the sister in the film. Thus, the role became pivotal to the script and later Jyothika was added, Karthi said. He further told that Jyothika was his sister-in-law at the time and she readily agreed to play his on-screen sister in the film Thambi. The emotional connect would thus be established and therefore she became better suited for the role. Karth then said that Thambi had several moments of action. comedy, thrill, etc; however, it had an underlying emotion that was essential to the plot.
