Nayanthara recalls telling Mohanlal, 'Sir, I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know anything about the dialogue I'm saying. You're asking me to cry on this word, and fall in love on that word. There's nothing inside me. Only fear.' Mohanlal laughed and told her to take a break.

Fazil reassured Nayanthara, saying he believed in her potential. Vismayathumbathu (2004), a psychological thriller based on the French novel If Only It Were True, starred Mohanlal as a man with a sixth sense. The film was a turning point in Nayanthara's career.
