P. Suseela, who doesn't speak much in public functions, rendered a long speech with a joyful mood.

SPB informed the audience that Chitha Senbaga Kumar, producer of the movie, was the one who conducted a grand musical program featuring Isaignani Ilayaraja in Dubai. Kumar is also a good singer, SPB revealed.

Hero Ashok prostrated on her feet to get her blessings. He also did the same thing when SPB came to talk.

There is an interesting story behind the title. Director Kanagu, who was working as an assistant director with Lingusamy got the title from his mentor. 'Pidichirukku' was the title which Lingusamy was about to use for his Run. Since Kanagu liked the title, Lingusamy decided to give it to his protege.
