At the Kuttram 23 success meet, Arun Vijay seemed very emotional, as he recalled how significant the film is his career. “Yennai Arindhaal was a big hit, but that was Ajith sir’s movie. I did get a good name as well. But when Arivazhagan approached me with this medical thriller in which I play a police officer — I felt that this would properly ascertain where I stand in the industry. I worked with lot of fear and responsibility. Now that it has turned out to be a hit, it is really heartwarming and God has given Arivazhagan as a gift to me!”
He adds, “Apart from everyone who lauded me for my work, it was my appa’s appreciation that I consider the most precious. I also told him that I am nobody in front of his achievements!”
Arun’s dad, veteran actor Vijayakumar, who received a honorary doctorate from Dr. MGR University recently, was also honoured on the occasion.
