"It was tough to deal with that many dogs at the same time," actor Arun Vijay said of the achievement of working with a hundred canines. I believe we shot with almost 100 dogs. They appeared to be having a lot more fun than the rest of the cast and crew. Hats off to Raja (the trainer) and Sarov, our director, for ensuring that everything ran well and that we were able to be a part of a lovely narrative that will please us all."

"We originally got three similar canines and taught them independently," Director Sarov Shanmugam shared his experience. I was able to find a 5-6-year-old dog of the same colour just before filming. The issue was that the height fluctuated every ten days. We did, however, have a backup plan. While it was challenging, we overcame it via careful planning and timing. The trainer, Raja, runs a dog hostel where he trains the dogs. Because sports are such an essential part of the movie, I urged him to teach the dogs how to accomplish these duties. It's something like to worldwide agility competition. The same thing is happening here."
