Sundar C. said "For Murai Maaman, we needed an action hero. But Jayaram was the only hero available for me. I tapped into his innate sense of humour, as he was very famous for his comedy in Malayalam and the output was hilarious. Till then I never knew I could direct a comedy film. It was because of Jayaram that we infused humour in the script and gave it a shot".[3] It was during this film that Sundar met his future wife Kushboo.
