Arun Vijay's speech from Nawab (Telugu version of Chekka Chivantha Vaanam) pre-release meet:
"It's everyone's dream to act in a movie directed by Mani Ratnam. That dream has been fulfilled now and I am really happy about that. I am also very happy to have acted with such wonderful actors, Arvind Swami anna, Prakash Raj sir, Jeyasudha mam, Jyothika mam, Vijay Sethupathi and Simbu.
AR Rahman sir's music has already made people go crazy, and I am sure you guys are loving it and I am looking forward to the film's background score as well.
The journey was very amazing, Thyagu, the character I played in the film was very close and it will be one of the milestones in my career. I really really loved playing the character. It is travel of emotions. Please watch it and enjoy it."
Aishwarya Rajesh's speech:
"Acting in a Mani sir movie is a dream true, I was initially petrified but to be honest, I have done over 20 films in Tamil but I have never been this comfortable working in a film before. That's Mani sir, if he or she is a good performer, he will use you like a 'laddu' and you don't have to be afraid at all. I was more comfortable with Mani sir out of all the directors I have worked with.
It is going to be a brilliant film and I am very happy to be a part of this film."
