According to a report by News 18 Malayalam, the film GOAT was initially set to feature Rajinikanth and Dhanush in the lead roles. Rajinikanth was supposed to play the father, while Dhanush was chosen to play the son. The director, Venkat, had reportedly crafted the storyline with these two actors in mind. However, after learning about de-aging technology, which can make characters appear younger, the decision was made to cast Vijay instead.
