Also in the film is Samuthirakani, who plays Sasikumar's maternal uncle. Samuthirakani and Sasikumar were last seen together in Udanpirappe, where they acted as brothers-in-law.

The trailer hints at the central conflict being around a never-ending legal battle between the family and the villain, played by Pazha Karuppaiah, who is determined to pull it until the end of his time.
