When the makers finalised Keerthy Suresh after considering Nitya Menon, Samantha and others, many eyebrows were raised. But Keerthy's first look attracted everyone. However senior actress Jamuna questioned her selection for the role of legendary actress Savitri. Recently she said Keerthy has no talent to star as Savitri. 

Keerthy who remained silent finally responded to Jamuna's criticism. She said she has the talent to play the role of Savitri. She said " I didnot give green signal for the project just like that. I thought a lot and considered the pros and cons and only after getting to know everything about Savitri, I gave green signal. I trained a lot and studied various books on Savitri and also met her daughter Chamnundeswari to know about Savitri's mannerisms. At that time she told many things about her aunt. I also watched numerous films of Savitri and only after the filmmakers got fully satisfied, I decided to star in the film" .
