When director Mysskin made his debut with Chithiram Pesuthadi, he cast Narain in the lead. The film went on to garner positive response from both the critics and audience alike. Mysskin made Narain his hero again in Anjathey, which got him two awards. From then on, both Narain and Mysskin have been considered lucky for each other. In fact, Narain never forgot to mention his 'director' and thank him at every given opportunity.
Even though the actor didn't have a role to play in Mysskin's next two films,
Nandalalaand
Yuddham Sei, he found himself playing an important role in
Mugamoodi. However, this time around, Narain was cast as the antagonist opposite
Jiiva in this superhero flick.
At a press meet, Mysskin said, "I approached Narain for the negative role and he agreed without even questioning me. He is playing the lead in several films now, and this career move might have shocked many. But Narain didn't think twice. I think I owe my friend one, and to exploit his talent, I will cast him in the lead in my next film again."
