It is worth mentioning that Revathi had essayed the popular character Panchavarnam in Thevar Magan, and is still considered as one of the finests in her career. A source close to the team says, “Revathi will be seen playing Kamal Haasan’s wife in the film. However, her character will be slightly different from the one she portrayed in the original. An official announcement will be made by December once Kamal completes the second schedule of Indian 2.” Kamal and Revathi had earlier worked together in films like Oru Kaithiyin Diary, Punnagai Mannan and Magalir Mattum, which released in 1994.
