Suhasini, who will be seen playing the character of a grandmother shared about her role in the story, saying, “Nagesh Kukunoor insisted on me and was very confident about me playing this grandmother role. And I am old enough to play such a character.” Adding more to this, she said “I need to talk about Nagesh's courage. It requires a lot of courage and strength to pick up such a story—love and affection between Grandmother and her grandson. We generally tend to think of Romeo and Juliet. I didn't have enough guts to play this role, but my friend Revathy convinced me to play this role. I couldn't convince myself as a grandmother”.
