Watching him perform in front of the camera is a great thrill for me.” The director’s comments reflect the excitement of being associated with one of the biggest icons of Indian cinema.

It’s a dream for many directors to make a film with Rajini sir and Kamal Haasan sir. I have that opportunity, and I know the responsibility that comes with it. ‘Dharman’ will be a blast. On the first day of shooting, when Rajini parked the car and walked outside the hospital, I looked outside the hospital and drove and drove. I couldn’t stop being happy. It was time to blow the whistle even for me,” he said.
