Guess who gets to play Vishal’s father in Pandianadu ? Director Bharathiraja! About the decision to cast Bharathiraja in the role, the film’s director Suseenthiran says, “The father’s character was as strong as Vishal’s, and we needed someone who could hold his own.” Vishal too opines Bharathiraja is the best choice for the role. In another of Vishal’s film Pattathu Yaanai , said to be a comedy, actor Santhanam has been roped in. In the film, Vishal plays a dual role — that of a cook and an ambulance driver.
