Before answering, Kamal Haasan shared how he tried to ride a mono cycle in his film titled Sabhash Naidu but couldn't. Then he shared the inspiration behind having the mono cycle sequence in the movie as he said, "Mr Shankar, where he lives, is a place where a lot of young kids practice this mono cycle because people after a certain age will be very worried to trust themselves in a single wheel". The actor admitted that it was with Dasavathaaram that the thought of going on the wheel again started intriguing him.
