When Abhimanyu was asked about his relationship with director Vasan Bala, this is what he had to say.
I had spent around 4-6 weeks with Vasan sir while auditioning for the film. The time that I spent with him resulted in a special bond between the two of us and that’s when I realised that I had to work with him. Even if it was a small role, I wanted to work with him. And because of that everything else became secondary, even the script. I just wanted to work with him.Abhimanyu Dassani
