In a recent interview, AR Murugadoss expressed why it is not easy to work with stars and how the awry schedules create problems for other actors.

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