• GVM said he has still not narrated the climax to Ajith sir. He even asked me "Jii.. Innum neenga climax sollala. Avalo ragasiyama vechirukeengala ‘ஜி… இன்னும் நீங்க கிளைமாக்ஸ் சொல்லலை. அவ்வளவு ரகசியமா வெச்சிருக்கீங்களா?’னு இப்பக்கூட அஜித் சார் கேட்டார். சீக்கிரம் அவர்கிட்ட கிளைமாக்ஸ் சொல்லணும்!”".
