Before we talk about the sequel of the film, did you know that director Nelson initially had planned to cast God of the Masses, Ballaya, in the movie for a cameo role?

Yes, you heard it right; director Nelson had initially planned to cast the Daaku Maharaaj actor for a cameo role, playing the role of a fiery police officer.

 In a throwback interview with Cinema Vikatan, the director said, "I wanted to cast Balakrishna sir from Telugu but couldn't place it right in the movie. I mean, I felt like I wanted to cast him even though I didn't know whether he would accept it or not if approached."

"If I had the scope to include him in the film, I would've definitely approached him. My idea for him was to play a cop... a deadly, attacking cop. But I couldn't craft the right arc for the character. The starting and ending existed for all other characters, but I couldn't make it right for him in this film. That's why I didn't do it. I wanted to end with all the superstars together."
