3. Chiyaan Vikram mouthed his famous dialogue ‘oru chaami, rendu chaami… ’from Saamy and also ‘adhukkum mela’ from I, in the same tone and vigor and captivated his audience. He also did the ‘O Podu’ gesture stylishly.

4. Vikram tried to sing Malarae from Premam with the vain help from Jayam Ravi who also did not seem to know the lyrics.  So Vikram ended up just humming the tune.

5. Jayam Ravi jocularly stated that while nice looking actresses will appear in men’s dreams, it was only his brother Mohan Raja who tormented in his dreams every night when he was doing Thani Oruvan.

6. Vikram said he took 23 takes to just say ‘Sir’ in SP Muthuraman’s Kaaval Geetham during his struggling period to get a foothold in the industry, when SPM gave him this chance.
