Director Shankar, in his recent exclusive interview with Behindwoods, revealed his most favourite title . He said, "Indian is my most favourite title, for the fact that I am an Indian, and the title speaks for itself. I actually like Anniyan title also. In fact, the first initial title of 'I' script was Anniyan. Things changed after that."
Shankar also added that the classic interview scene in Mudhalvan was his most favourite scene, among the films he directed. "The interview sequence between Arjun and Raghuvaran in Mudhalvan is my most favourite scene. A scene usually happens for 2-3 minutes, and probably few important sequences happen for 5 minutes. The climax of a film usually ranges around 10 minutes, but this interview sequence in Mudhalvan is 12.5 minutes long. It is my most longest scene ever.", said Shankar.
