l Would Kidnap Anirudh, Says Vijay

The Anirudh Bond: Anirudh has poured his heart and soul into the film’s music. Ani and I have become close friends. We've spent a lot of time together, hung out together, eaten well, and listened to music. When Anirudh praised just 40 minutes of the film, the audience immediately embraced it. People may not trust my words fully, but they do trust Anirudh. If I could, I would kidnap Anirudh and keep him with me always!

Wedding Plans: People keep asking on social media whether I will get married first or Anirudh will get married. Anirudh is younger than me. I will get married in a couple of years.

Physical Transformation: I’ve given my best to this role; I even shaved my head for a particular transformation. I play a constable in the early part of the story and go through a drastic evolution. I hope to take on a full-length cop role someday.

Most Cherished Moment: I was an average student in school. No one, including my teacher, praised me when I was young. It was heartwarming when director Gowtham Thinnanuri called my mother after the film was completed and praised me, saying, ‘Your son has acted well.’ It was one of the most cherished moments in my life and I will never forget it.
