<p><b>After working on different landscapes including mountains, sea and forest in my previous films, I wanted to choose an attractive backdrop for my next. That’s when I discovered the magic of narrating a romance story with the backdrop of a train journey. When I told this idea to Dhanush, he immediately agreed to be a part of the film, without even listening to the full script. </b></p>
