 Composer A.R. Rahman (qv) and actress Shriya (qv) were part of  this films cast and crew. However, the AVM Company passed a rule  that nobody making Rajnikanth (qv)s _Sivaji (2007)_ (qv) should  be involved in making this film, which forced the two of them out.  They were respectively replaced with Himesh Reshammiya (qv) and  Mallika Sherawat (qv).
