Originally Suriya was going to play the double role in the movie, playing father and son. Actor Surya really wanted Malayalam actor Kalabhavan Mani to play the role of villain Athreya, but Kalabhavan Mani declined the offer. The role was finally played by Surya himself, making his first triple role in his filmography.
Athreya:

Mataji (saranya) discloses to Mani that she fed him mothers milk unable to see him crying the day she brought him home thus becoming his non-biologically biological mother. As a matter of fact a woman cannot produce mothers milk until pregnant and saranya had never even got married in the movie.
