Director turned actor Rajakumaran during a conversation with Behindwoods revealed that he was offered to direct Ajith Kumar again after Nee Varuvai Enna, but he apparently refused the invitation. This is what he had to say:
“Many actors would not prefer to wear the ‘Ramarajan’ type of bright pink shirt. But I have made all my heroes wear such colourful shirts from Sarath Kumar sir to Vikram sir to Ajith sir. But I think that costume was beautiful on Ajith sir. Can we find that Ajith now? Can we see that natural looking village type Ajith now wearing a dhoti with a pink shirt that I showed in my film? Even after that, I was offered to direct Ajith sir again, but I rejected.”
