Speaking of the challenges, actor-turned-director R Madhavan said that the film's script had been penned in such a way that it required him to look as close to the real Nambi Narayanan as possible.
"It was literally rocket science how the entire team planned the look from being a 29 year old man to 79 year old guy. To maneuver the look between our schedule of 43 days was one of our greatest achievements. You will see in the film how the transition of the look is so seamless that you would not even realise how and when the look changed,¡± the Breathe actor said in a video shared on YouTube.
