Noted actor-director Thyagarajan played Nayan’s father in the Malayalam smash hit film Bodyguard. When director Siddique, who is directing the Tamil version of this film with Vijay in the lead, wanted Thyagarajan to play the same role but he refused it. Enquiries in Kollywood revealed that Thyagarajan is busy directing and producing Ponnar Shankar with his son Prashanth playing the lead role and hence decided not to take up the offer. Eventually, the role was bagged by Raj Kiran, who plays Asin’s dad in Kaavalkaran.

Kaavalkaran is the remake of Malayalam hit Bodyguard starring Dileep and Nayantara. Siddique (of Friends fame), who directed the original, is also directing the Tamil version.
