The role of Dimple, the mother of the hero, will be done by Revathi who returns to Tamil films after a gap.

The film is a first cop role for STR who disclosed that he is growing a moustache for the role. The shoot will begin next month. I want to try all genres of films and playing a cop seems an exciting prospect for me. I am observing some cops and also doing some body building before the start of the shooting. I am a Salman fan and I loved the film when I saw it and I thought I would suit the role. I am sure Dharani will give me a new color. said STR.

Revathi who was also present, added that she was confident of doing the film once she knew that Dharini was at the helm. Jithan Ramesh who was present, plays the role of STR’s brother in the film, which was originally played by Arbaz Khan.
