The sword is as an important part of the movie and hence I cut the cake with that alongside the crew members. Many of them told me that this will set a wrong precedent. Henceforth, I will be more cautious about these things. If the act has hurt anyone, I apologize for that." On the work front, Vijay Sethupathi has been garnering a positive response for his performance in his latest release Master.
