With complete gratitude to you sir that we are part of your dream project, that we are going to be part of this narrative on solitude. It’s such an exciting, enticing, interesting narrative. That’s why one can see why filmmakers like Mani sir would want to bring this on solitude as his dream project and how fortunate we are that we got to be part of his dream film. Because it’s said in Mani Ratnam’s style on solitude.”

This is a Mani Ratnam movie and that’s what makes it super special. So thank you again Mani garu for having us on board and for having me yet again in your film and it’s never enough. Thank you very much.”
