Speaking about the Behindwoods Gold Medal Ceremony, vijay also highlighted the poor conditions of farmers who have been protesting for the redressal of their rights.

We are all being awarded for our hardwork today, but what about those (farmers) who are working without any reward for their hardwork?”, he asks. He added that people might not consider the problems of farmers because the food is almost available to most of the people in the audience.
“If we don’t wake up now, the next generation will suffer worse,” he said. He closed his speech urging the Indian government to first take care of its farmers, and then channel its resources into becoming a superpower.

On sunday, Vijay's wax statue was presented at the Behindwoods Gold Medals event, where he was also awarded the "Smarat of South Indian Box-Office".
