As the actress Suhasini Maniratnam asked who was the first choice for Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal. The director said “Actually first, Trisha mam and Nayan were to do the film. Trisha's mam couldn’t do the film at that time and so the film was delayed. That is why I did Thaanaa Serndha Koottam, or else, I would have done Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal with A.M. Rathnam sir (as producer). There was some confusion, so Trisha mam said she couldn’t be part of the film. So, at that time I needed someone equally, visually beautiful women cast. After that, we approached Samantha mam, at first she had doubt. I asked some time for narration saying 'I will narrate the story and then decide'. I went and narrated it she enjoyed it and laughed and so the film was shot.

Vignesh Shivan then said how he convinced Samantha. He said he couldn't just say that he will be equal importance to the two actresses in Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal, Though he and Nayanthara were in a relationship. He added “I said believe in my work and she was also very happy. After seeing the film, she was very happy and Nayan and her became friends and throughout it went good and the experience was very nice”. Watch full interview:
