• Even he messaged director for an opportunity, way before Mollywood Times came into the picture. Abhinav called him and he was easily persuaded.

• Abhinav had informed him about Sujith Raj, and told him to shed some pounds to be younger. Roshan agreed instantly.

• He was even more excited when he read the screenplay. The film tells the story that success isn’t all about talent. This theme resonated with Roshan.

• He doesn’t discount luck, but he does recognize that it plays a part in addition to passion and hard work.

• Meanwhile, he doesn’t completely endorse the film’s pessimistic attitude, viewing it as a way to find the will to go on despite setbacks if one stays committed and dedicated to the task.

• Roshan liked working with Naslen, from day one. The two were regularly travelling together during filming of parts involving younger versions of their characters and a comfortable bond took soon to take root.

• Roshan claims that he dropped Naslen from his acting rolls and took to Vineeth Madhavan.

• Roshan claims that he ditched Naslen from his acting rolls and has taken to Vineeth Madhavan.

• A single shot caught the attention of the viewers. At the end, Sujith is awarded and tells Vineeth that it’s his identity and not his work that got him the recognition.

• Vineeth’s response is dismal and derogatory as it is a celebration of mediocrity. This is Roshan’s moment of relief after years of frustration.

• Much of the film is spent trying to figure out the whole “why” thing with things going the way they do, and Sujith is no exception.

• He goes on to realize that people are treated and rewarded according to their identity and background. This awakening irks him to no end.
