If you are in the shoes of a hero, it is easy to say yes or no to a particular story. But if you have been a hero for several years, choosing to play a villain is not an easy decision. In the film, you might be a villain, but to me, you are the hero I have been watching on screen since my college days. This is why the posters also feature his name first—he is the senior-most star among us in the lead cast.”

It is worth noting that Ravi Mohan made his debut with Jayam in 2003 and has since primarily played protagonist roles. With Parasakthi, he breaks his 22-year career-defining streak by taking on a role with negative shades.
