He said, “Suresh Krissna called me one day and explained the role I was to play in Charukesi. I instantly agreed, simply because of who he is. Every dialogue written by Pa Vijay was powerful and meaningful.

I’m confident Y Gee Mahendra sir will win a National Award for his performance.” YG Mahendran shared, “At 75, to get such a role is a blessing. After a long time, we have a Tamil film without violence and bloodshed.
