In September 2018, while talking to Times of India, Mithran said that he and Siva had worked on a short film and have been planning to work together for a while. Apparently, they were supposed to work on a project even before Irumbu Thirai.
“I’d written a story for him long ago, and we were supposed to do a film even before Irumbu Thirai released, sometime in 2017. After the release of my film, we met and decided to work together. This project will be a racy thriller. That’s how I’ve planned it for now. Just like Irumbu Thirai, this film will also have a social message,” he said.
Kalyani made her acting debut in Tollywood with the film Hello , which bagged her a Filmfare Award for best debut. This is her second project in Tamil. She is already part of Dulquer Salmaan’s Vaan , a Tamil romantic thriller.
Hero is slated to release on 20 December
