He was all praise for the film’s dialogue writer Velumani. “The dialogues are very different and noteworthy,” he said. Vijaykanth also clarified his stand on acting and politics — “Acting is a different field. There is much more work to be done when it comes to politics. However, I have to act, because I have a party to run, don’t I?”
