About bringing in J Mahendran into his film, Priyadarshan says, “I am a great fan of Mahendran sir, who is doing a pivotal role in Nimir. I have watched all his films and back then I wanted to join him as an assistant, but unfortunately, I could not. I am happy that I could get him on board to play the role of Udhay’s dad. He is a photographer in the movie who is also a dreamer. I asked him to suggest a title and he immediately said ‘Nimir’, which goes well with the theme of the film.” Click the Movie button below for more info:
