In an interview with Pinkvilla, Taapsee has opened up about the project, putting the rumours to rest. “Yes, it’s a Tamil comedy that I’m doing with them along with Vijay. I had said yes to the script around a year ago and the director wanted me only to do this film. We were figuring out dates for this and as soon as things started opening up a bit, we quickly squeezed this one,” she said.

Recently, it was announced that Iranian actor Elnaaz Norouzi, who starred in Sacred Games, has been roped in for an important role in Jana Gana Mana. According to a report in The Times of India, the team spotted her in Azerbaijan, and decided to rope her in as she fit the bill of her character.

“Elnaaz has done several ad films for top brands in the country. She became a household name, thanks to her performance, especially in dual roles, in a popular Hindi series. Soon after, she was flooded with offers from the south and now, she’s set to make her debut in Kollywood with Jayam Ravi’s film. She was spotted with the team in Azerbaijan, where Ravi and Taapsee were shooting. Since the film is high on action, Elnaaz has been training for it,” a source was quoted by Times of India.
