Producer Magesh Raj has shared insights into the early phase of casting Abishan Jeevinth as the lead actor in With Love, revealing that the actor was initially hesitant to take on the responsibility of a full-fledged protagonist. Speaking in a recent interview, Magesh Raj recalled how uncertainty crept in even before the project was officially announced.
According to the producer, news about Abishan’s lead role was leaked prematurely, leading to a flood of reactions on social media. The following day, Abishan reportedly showed him several comments he had encountered online. Magesh Raj said he advised the actor to avoid being influenced by online opinions, encouraging him instead to move forward with courage and self-belief.
