Thank you for considering me for this film, Soundarya, and for believing in all of us. I would like to congratulate you for your courage to make this film,” Deepika said.
She then went on to thank Rajnikanth and his wife
“Thank you Rajini sir and aunty (Lata Rajinikanth) for being my home away from home and treat me like your own daughter every time I was here to shoot. This is my debut in Tamil industry and I hope all of you will enjoy the experience as much as I did”
