Gautam Menon revealed that he narrated the story to Rajini who too loved the storyline and even enquired about the dates needed, project budget etc. He said Rajini however shied away from doing the project misguided by people close to him.

Dhruva Nakshatram landed in controversies ever since its inception. The project was launched with Surya in the lead. But creative differences led Surya quit the project and finally the film landed in the laps of Vikram.
