In an interview with The Times of India, Radhika said that "I'm playing the role of a girl, who comes to the help of the people. This is a double shaded character in the movie. Bajrangi Loki is playing negative shade in the movie. Our scenes have come up very well,".[5]

Shashikala, the famous voice behind Nagavalli’s character featuring Soundarya in Apthamitra, has now dubbed for Radhika Kumaraswamy in this film. The makers conducted voice tests with 23 dubbing artistes, and finally decided to bring Shashikala on board.

“Even Radhika, who usually dubs for her films, felt that she will not be able to do justice with her voice, and then we decided to go with Shashikala. We were told that she has not been working for the last three years. However, she considered our request and completed dubbing for the film. With her voice, the character played by Radhika now reaches another level,” director Navarasan said in an interview with The New Indian Express.[6]
