Thiagrajan, however, stated, "We haven’t locked his role yet. It was reported that Karthik will reprise the role played by Anil Dhawan in the original. Karthik and I go back to Alaigal Oyivathillai days we share a good bond." Though we haven’t signed the deal yet, he’s on board. He loved the movie and has agreed to be part of it. Talking about signing Karthik for the film, Thiagrajan told ETimes, "We had screened Andhadhun for Karthik in January. While Prashanth play the character portrayed by Ayushmann Khurrana in the original, Thiagrajan has now revealed that he has roped in Yogi Babu and veteran Tamil actor Karthik to play key roles in the film.
