During an exclusive interactive session with Behindwoods, Aruvi director Arun Prabu Purushothaman revealed why he used the Vijay reference in the movie.

When a fan asked Arun if he used Vijay reference to troll him intentionally, this is what the director had to say, "There are many commentaries based dialogues in the film that comes and goes. So at that point of the film, that character reacts in such a way, that is how the scene was conceived. Our intention was not to troll anyone."
