Along with Silambarasan and Venkat Prabhu, the film's leading lady Kalyani Priyadarshan, SJ Suryah and Premgi Amaren, who are playing pivotal roles, music composer Yuvan Shankar Raja and Bhavatharini, who sang Meherezylaa were also present.

Simbu remarked in response to SJ Suryah's comment on Premgi Amaren and said "Interestingly, I’ve been sober for a year. I gave up alcohol this very day a year ago.”

He then jokingly pulled Premgi’s leg and added, “Imagine shooting with Prem during this one year, and still managing to not be tempted to have a drink!” Simbu also remarked that staying away from alcohol has been good for him personally.

And SJ Suryah also joined in the fun and remarked, “But it is because of alcohol that he and Venkat Prabhu have managed to keep corona away. We take in alcohol and keep out corona.” He also mentioned that Simbu has all the potential ro become a pan- India actor.
