In 'Chai with Chithra' interview, director Lingusamy said, he purposefully didn't choose Meera Jasmin as leading lady because he wanted to introduce a new face. He already worked with Meera in his earlier movie Run.
Meera Jasmin seems to have voluntarily walked into his office and insisted Lingusamy to narrate the story. After hearing the story, she requested to be cast and Lingusamy obliged.

Director Lingusamy original choice for heroine was Deepika Padukon. He seems to have narrated the story to her manager and there was interest from Deepika's side to act in the movie. But they seem to have demanded 27 Lakhs which was way above the budget. Hence the agreement didn't go through.
