During the event, Dhanush praised the filmmaker Sekhar and suggested that he had changed the myth that only action spectacles could bring the audience to the theatres.

Dhanush said, “Slowly, slowly theatrical run is becoming a question mark, you know, to bring audience to theatre, you feel and people are under the impression, there is a myth that is being developed that you need an action spectacle, big film, big choppers flying everywhere, bombs blasting, blood everywhere, that's the kind of like you need people to come to the theatres.”
He elaborated that a myth has been slowly developed, suggesting that only big-budget films, filled with action sequences and drama, can pull the audience to the theatres.
The actor further noted, "but you have given hope sir, you have given hope to so many filmmakers and for a theatrical run that with heart, just heart, you can bring people to the theatres.”

Dhanush elaborated, “Emotion is the biggest grandeur, that is the most grandeur, like what more can be bigger than human emotion, I don't think anything is bigger than human emotion, like these films like this should happen to give hope to future filmmakers also, filmmakers like the next generation.”
