He revealed that he had shot for nine days with the Enthiran team. "Nine days of shooting has been completed including my scenes along with Akshay Kumar Sir... Shankar sir introduced me to Rajinikanth when he came down to Chennai to visit the shooting location. He talked to me with utmost love which will always remain an unforgettable moment of my life. The next schedule will start by October and I'm happy that I have few scenes with the Thalaivar," Shajon said.

Produced by Lyca Productions for a whopping budget of Rs 350 crore, the film marks the first collaboration of Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar.
