Without the storytelling, skill and vision of Atlee, this film wouldn’t have been possible and of course… massy massy massy!!!

Sending my love to the team that toiled away to make this film what it is — Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, all the Chief’s girls and Red Chillies Entertainment.

And thank you to the audiences for accepting our film with such love and happiness!!!”
