When Rajini made up his mind to do a film for KB, he had asked director P. Vasu to select a right story for remaking. Vasu selected 'Katha Parayumbol', after considering various projects. When Rajini saw this movie he was virtually moved and gave his nod to the project.
Vasu requested the media not to write that Rajini would do an honorary role in the movie. He would act in an important role, said the director. “The whole story revolves around him”, declared Vasu.
The press meet was attended by K. Balachandar, Seven Arts Vijayakumar (the producer of Malayalam original), director P. Vasu, Vaijayanthi Movies Aswin Dutt (Telugu producer), and story writer cum actor Sreenivasan. The movie will be made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu. Kavithalaya, Seven arts, and Vaijayanthi Movies are the joint producers of the venture, which will be directed by P. Vasu.
Sreenivasan, who wrote the story of 'Katha Parayumbol' and donned an important role in the film, was a junior to Rajini in the film institute.
