Divulging further on the same, actor Jagan inquired why Kamal Haasan didn’t use his prominence as the lead to include him in the promotions. Moreover, the actor shared how the film's makers had two actors in mind to play his character, but he got the part after the late KV Anand spoke to director Shankar for him.

Jagan revealed director KV Anand spoke to Shankar for him, for around 30 minutes, and it was then that he got a call from the team of Indian 2. He also mentioned how KV Anand did not even share with him that he had spoken to Shankar on his behalf. 

Furthermore, the actor went on to speak about how over the years he is still known for playing the supporting role in Ayan. For those unaware, the 2009 movie starring Suriya in the lead role featured Jagan in a key role and was the second directorial venture of director KV Anand.
