For the unversed, this marks the actor duo’s fifth collaboration. They previously worked together as a pair in Aaru and Mounam Pesiyadhe, and as co-stars in Mani Ratnam's Aayutha Ezhuthu (though not as an on-screen pair). Additionally, they appeared together in the song “Oyyale” from Kamal Haasan and Trisha’s film Manmadhan Ambu, where Suriya made a cameo appearance.
