Writer Alfred Prakash, who has been good friends with director Vignesh Raja, had in an earlier interview disclosed that both Vignesh and he understood each other very well.

The writers, who had taken four years to come up with the final version of Por Thozil, believe that it is better when two people write a story together as each writer can use the other as a sounding board to test one’s ideas.
