Many have applauded Vijay Antony for starting work amid irreparable losses. However, some concerned people questioned whether he was asked to promote the film. Director CS Amudhan, without mentioning his name, revealed that it was Vijay Antony’s way of dealing.

His post read, “Guys I can assure you that for all of us involved in this, promotion of the movie is very low on our priorities… There are things that are beyond our control and affect many people’s lives. Also there is also what the man himself wants and how he chooses to cope.”
