He revealed that Vijay Sethupathi asked him not to get fixed and that he should do the role just because he had asked him. He said the actor said to him "If you find a better option, go ahead."
Madonne Ashwin said then they began thinking of adding 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan's voice or 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's voice. "When we were talking, SK's brother also did mimicry and showed us how the voice would be. But finally, If I think about it when two people who are contemporary and in the same age group speak, it creates a buddy feeling, and it looks better". He added that "maybe, if Kamal Sir had given the voice, it would have been like advice; this fits in the friend zone and as an interaction. So, this is better".
