Mysskin is known for his unpredictable castings, like Prasanna who was known for romantic roles and Pandiarajan as villains in Anjaathe, Narain who usually plays hero roles as a villain in Mugamoodi, and all the roles in Yutham Sei were new to the actors including Y G Mahendran, and a new face as the main villain in Psycho




Suresh





At that point no one would have imagined SJ Surya in such a serious and intense performance role, but Karthik Subbaraj re-invented him and gave us the true star

Sachin





Kovai Sarala in Sathuleelavathi, which was largely Kamals decision though the director is Balumahendra
