Referring to recent political transitions in the region, she mentioned how Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay stepped away from acting after entering public office. Expressing her deep admiration, she urged her co-star to remain committed to the silver screen so audiences could continue enjoying his performances for years to come.
Addressing the Speculations Directly
Responding to the widespread rumors surrounding his future career path, Dhanush put the speculations to rest by explaining who truly guides his decisions.

Chaos Outside the Audio Launch Venue
The audio launch event for ‘OM: Chapter 1 – Udhiram – The Blood Wood’ took place on November 6.
