Veteran Tamil actor Arvind Swami debuted with Mani Ratnam in the blockbuster ‘Thalapathi’ (1991) and starred in successful films such as ‘Roja’ and ‘Bombay’. He did nearly one to two films in a year but went off the grid after `Alaipayuthey` (2000) which featured him in a cameo. The actor revealed that it was because of his spinal injury that left him bedridden during that time.

In an interview with Gulf News, Arvind said, "I didn’t do a film for 13 years, and I wasn’t planning on making a comeback. It was just an opportunity provided by Mani Ratnam sir, and when people think you can’t do it, you take it up as a challenge. Not in a negative way, but between my cameo in Alaipayuthey and Kadal, a lot had happened. The most relevant thing was that I had a spinal injury, and I was in bed for a couple of years. I had partial paralysis in my leg.”
