But my fans have been with me from the start, supporting me without fail for 33 years. That's why I will stand up for the fans who stood up for me. He went on to say, "This Vijay will pay back his debt of gratitude."

Vijay also talked about how important it was to hold the Jana Nayagan audio launch in Malaysia, where there is a large Tamil population. He said that Malaysia has one of the largest Tamil populations in the world after Sri Lanka. He thanked the fans for coming out in such large numbers and talked about the long history between Tamil cinema and Malaysia. "We can think of a lot of Tamil movies that were filmed in Malaysia. Billa, which stars our friend Ajith, was even filmed here. Vijay said, "I also shot my movies Kaavalan and Kuruvi here."
