Speaking about his daughter at the event, Shankar said, “I haven’t seen Muthaiah’s films, but I have heard the wonderful songs of his movies. I have also heard that he writes good female characters. So, I am happy that my daughter is in good hands.”

He added, “Whatever I say about her will come across as praise from a father. However, as a filmmaker, I have noticed that she is a good entertainer. Her success lies in how she works on her talent and how the directors tap into it. And above all, it’s in the hands of people.
