A source close to the film's unit informed. “Tanushri, who became popular through the TV reality show Super Singer in which she won hearts through her singing, plays one of the kids in the family of Karthi, who plays a farmer in the film. It is not just Tanushri who has been cast in the film, her brother Tej too was roped in to play an important role in this film, which has a huge star cast,” the source said.

The famed singer has not sung any song for the film and focused on her acting job.
