A scene where Vijaykanth is in conversation with actor Ravichandran towards the climax of the film has been going viral. In the particular scene in question, Vijaykanth’s character is in jail after he has confessed to his crimes of killing the corrupt and the guilty. Ravichandran, who plays the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, comes to visit Vijaykanth in prison and offers him a pardon, calling him a leader the nation needs. Vijaykanth declines, insisting that only he has to bear the ultimate repercussions of his deeds. The Chief Minister grants his request for a secret visit so he can see his kids before he is hanged.

The scam is exposed by Vijaykanth. Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) supporters are trending the scene, emphasizing how Vijaykanth battled corruption in real life as well, through his political actions.
