The results were announced by the end of the day and actor Vishal was chosen as the President, Prakash Raj and Gautham Menon were elected to be the Vice-Presidents, SR Prabhu as the Treasurer and Kathiresan and KE Gnanavel Raja as the secretaries. 

After the results were announced, all the winners gave their victory speeches and conveyed their gratitude to the voters. We present to you some of the winners' speeches.

Prakash Raj- ''It is a victory for the change. We said that Change is the only thing that doesn't change. This victory is an excellent example of the fact that if anything goes wrong, and there is somebody to stand for it, and if there are sincerity and truthfulness in that stand, any level of victory can be achieved. This success proves that a change was necessary and all the producers have voted for that change. We are very happy, and we have a lot of responsibility. We will be the change that we promised.''

SR Prabhu: ''Namma Ani's success is the success of every producer who wished for the change. This is a victory for the change. As we said, this team will come forward and serve for the change that each producer is looking for. Thanks to everybody who stood by this team and helped in this success.''

KE Gnanavel Raja: ''Thanks to the Press and Media for being here and helping us conduct this election in a calm and efficient manner. I'd like to thank all the 1059 voters. We've gotten a good team. We will work well along with Kathiresan sir. The following two years will be refreshing for all the producers who voted for us. We will guarantee to solve the theater issues, piracy problems, and all other obstacles. We are euphoric for Kathiresan sir's victory as well. We'd like to thank all our seniors who wished us well and had good intentions. I'd like to thank the judge Rajeshwar who conducted this very well. Thanks to the police department and the press for staying here all day in this scorching heat and covering the whole election. Thanks to everyone who were supportive of us. On behalf of Vishal's team and the Producer Council, I'd like to thank everybody.''

Kathiresan: ''At this time I would like to thank all the producers who voted for me, and I dedicate this victory to them. Without looking at this just as a position, I would serve this council with utmost sincerity and responsibility. I will work for every producer's benefit. Thanks to the Press and Media. ''
