Sarathkumar who acted in many telugu films and Big Hero In tamil films expressed his views on how Kochadaiyan came into being a few years ago itself. “Rajinikanth told me a story a few years ago and I still remember it scene by scene. It was a wonderful story and I really wished to work with him but the film did not materialize for some reason. I am happy that I got a chance now in Kochadaiyaan. I am proud to be associated with him,” he stated.
