When he reiterated the same during his meeting with Vijay, the flak further intensified. To add to it, the film’s editor R Kalaivanan in an interview, said that the Suriya-starrer would’ve been ‘even more explosive’ had it had Vijay. Amid backlash for his team, Suriya has now shared a cryptic note about love and kindness.
