On Wednesday, Jason spoke at the Telugu press meet of Sigma, where he was asked about Vijay's involvement in the film. "He is waiting for the release," he said.

The director was asked if Vijay would be a part of the promotional campaign, to which he said that he would want to keep his father away from all promotions.

“I want the promotion to be about the film, and I don't want that to overlap, and obviously he is the CM today, so you know you have so much responsibility."

Jason also shared that Vijay is excited about the film and is looking forward to watching it. "He is also very excited," he added.

When the young filmmaker was asked what his reaction was when Vijay became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Jason said, "I felt very happy. It was obviously a very happy moment for me and everyone around him."
