I am now going to learn martial arts for the film which offers me a great chance to portray a character in a script written by the veteran M.T. Vasudevan Nair' said Asin, while she was speaking to reporters in her Home state of Kerala.

Kamal Haasan will play an important role in this film which will also feature the popular Japanese actor Tadanobu Asano.
