Manish Shah told Bollywood Hungama that he indeed discussed the project but at times it takes time to take off. He said he will produce the remake of Viswasam with the original producers, Sathya Jyoti films. Viswasam was a blockbuster when it came out in Sankranti 2019. The movie had Nayanthara and Ajith Kumar in lead roles. Jagapathi Babu was the main villain.

It seems Siva had offered the project to Shah Rukh Khan in 2019. However, he turned it down as he just suffered a huge debacle with Zero. The superstar was treading cautiously and did not want to take unnecessary risks.
