Bharathiraja's Letter:

In a letter written by director Bharathiraja to actor Vijay Sethupathi, he stated, "Vijay Sethupathi should avoid starring in the biopic of Muttiah Muralitharan. Muralitharan is a traitor. He laughed at the Srilankan people when they were tortured and slaughtered during the Srilankan civil war. I don't know how to react to your decision."

 He added, "It is challenging to earn a reputable name among people. You have been loved by Tamil fans through your character and sensible speeches. I wish you more fame on this journey that will go even further."
