Now he has turned independent director with this film. B Suresh had assisted me in many of my previous films. He is the producer. So, this is like a home-production for me. When they asked me to do a role in this film, I immediately said okay and did not ask anything about the story or role or remuneration’ said Ravichandran in an earlier interview.
