Perhaps, they might have thought I'll not do but I have fulfilled my promise with this film. Rajesh was working as an Assistant Director in my production for the past seven years and I'm introducing him as a Director with this film. I also asked Abburi Ravi to work on the dialogues within four weeks. I'm very impressed with Sanu John Varughese's work in Uttama Villain," adding, "The dynamics of cinema is changing and what one likes in a film, others may not like it. So film is all about perception but I'm sure this film will make the glue to the screens."

The film's director Rajesh M Selva says, "I joined Kamal sir's production in 2008 as third assistant director . Kamal sir made me make my directorial debut and directing like him in my first film is a blessing. I hope I would reach Kamal sir's expectations."

"It's an honor to work with Kamal sir and I'm doing a unique role in this film," said Trisha.
