Vijay Sethupathi earlier told Times Now, "I can’t thank my director and Mitu (child artist) enough. I was begging for the role when the director narrated it to me. I had no idea how to even go about it but I was so interested in the part. I am the kind of actor who doesn’t do much homework. My first shot took 50-60 takes because I couldn’t find that character in me. My EP bailed me out – she taught me how to stand like a woman, behave like a woman, get her mannerism. The character of Shilpa has been a huge learning lesson for me." Also Read - Laabam: Vijay Sethupathi's film with late director SP Jananathan to release on THIS date
