"The scene is a difficult one and primarily between Simbu, who plays a character called Abdul Khaliq and S J Suryah, who plays a police officer. But how we shot the scene was that we shot Simbu's part separately and S J Suryah's part separately."Simbu had to deliver his lines looking at a camera and the way, he did that was extraordinary," Venkat Prabhu said and added that the actor's performance brought tears to not just his eyes but to the entire unit.
