AR Murugadoss says it was challenging to shoot with Salman Khan 

During a recent interview with Valaipechu Voice, AR Murugadoss expressed that it is not easy to shoot with stars since their different schedules create problems for other actors. He said, "It’s not easy to shoot with a star. Even day scenes, we have to shoot at night because he turns up to sets only by 8 PM. We are people who are used to shooting right from early mornings, but that’s not how things work there."

The filmmaker added, "If there were four kids in a scene, we would have to shoot with them at 2 AM, even if it’s the shot of them returning from school! They would become tired by that time and usually dozed off."
