Pradeep added, “The drama in Vikkatakavi is quite unique, and I felt a Punjabi cinematographer would bring a fresh perspective. We built many sets for the series. Writer Teja Desraj suggested the title. I had seen Naresh Agastya’s performances in Senapathi and Mathu Vadalara and was impressed by his acting skills. Hence, I felt he was perfect for the titular role. There will be a second season as well.”
