As I can remember, ever since I was a kid, I loved Ulaganayagan the most. This is a surreal experience for me, that I am directing a film in his honor. I thank all the kind souls who made this possible. It has been 18 months since I started working on Vikram." He added, "As a team, we have shed blood and sweat (quite literally) for this film in order to entertain you, our audiences, and to celebrate One Man, the pride of our Nation, Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan. It is a great honor to have the opportunity to direct you, sir. This film is a gift to you from a fan boy! I will cherish these moments forever! And to my lovely audience, Vikram is going to be all yours in a few hours. We hope you enjoy it and have an amazing theatre experience! And please do revisit 'Kaithi' before getting into the world of 'Vikram' ".
