Sundar, who had previously done a live fight in a Tamil and Malayalam film, enjoyed working with Sandeep for the first time, and the experience was phenomenal.

Reacting to the speculation that the violence in "Arjan Vailly" song is a copy of Korean film, Sundar clarifies that the style is inspired by Korean movies but not a copy. He emphasizes that such styles are common in Korean films and shouldn't be considered copying. Addressing the cruelty in the film and its potential negative impact on the audience, Sundar suggests enjoying the film from an entertainment perspective and encourages viewers to understand the positive aspects and the message the story intends to convey.
