Suriya’s cameo had intended to be a carefully-guarded secret. However, eagle-eyed fans managed to spot Suriya in the trailer, which the makers were unable to deny. Suriya’s presence in the movie has added to the appeal of the star-studded film, which already features Kamal Haasan, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil in the lead roles.
During a talk show on Vijay TV recently, Kamal had expressed his excitement about making the movie with Suriya. “We had been talking about making a film with Suriya at Raaj Kamal for a long time. And when I asked him for Vikram, he immediately agreed to it. It all just happened over a phone call. By the time when I went to meet him on the sets, he had already finished shooting for the film and was leaving to catch another flight. That’s when I said ‘thank you to him,” he had said.
