Although this film has been promoted as Dhanush's first film featuring him in dual characters, it technically is not. His successful 2015 science-fantasy film 'Anegan' featured him in 4 distinctive characters, each of them appearing in a different era. Some sources deny this, because these characters are supposed to be different incarnations of one soul.

For the first time, Dhanush is playing dual roles.
