Earlier, Gopichand talked about working with Balakrishna and said, “I’m happy and relieved. I saw the film as a responsibility. I feel lucky to have gotten a film with him at the right time when he tasted a blockbuster like Akhanda and reached out to a wide section of audiences through his show Unstoppable. I readied the story keeping his massy image in mind.”
Meanwhile, Rajinikanth is currently working on his upcoming film, Jailer. According to various reports Jackie Shroff will be reuniting with Rajinikanth in Jailer after 36 years.
