'This is my second film with Nelson and Sabu. So its very special to us. Our interaction was much easier due to that,'said Justin Prabhakaran.
'Director Nelson was very particular about what he wanted and would not stop till he got the correct reactions,' said heroine Priya Bhavani Shankar.
Director Nelson said ,' The hero is SJ Suryah and the villain is a rat is what I had in mind. Its one of the most intelligent animals. Its sense of smell is amazing. I had amazing research on the rat. I needed someone who could do justice to the script and role. SJ Suryah was the perfect choice and right ftom the narration he started getting into character. His role was very tough since he had to wait for the rat's reactions and give expressions even without any rat. ' He emphasised that a real rat has been used in the film and no CG has been used at all.
'We shot for 20 days with a rat. We could not direct it but we still shot with it. The story is based on a real situation that happened in my house. For 3 days I could not go home because if it. Families will enjoy the film a lot.'
