Bharath has said that he was initially approached by director Shankar for one of the roles in Nanban. The director had reportedly asked him to keep his dates free so that he could be a part of Nanban.
However, Shankar reverted back to Bharath after a few days saying that he might not fit in the role he had in mind for him. Shankar apparently told Bharath that he would give him an opportunity in one of his future projects. Well, better luck next time Bharath!
