"Every actor would dream to win the coveted Oscar award. But for those in Kollywood, being part of a movie produced by Aascar Ravichandran is itself a delight", said Vijay.

Speaking at a function to launch his forthcoming film 'Velayudham', produced by Aascar Ravichandran and directed by 'Jayam' Raja, in Chennai today, the actor said, "Ravichandran has made grand arrangements for the function. I thank my fans for their support and patronage that has brought me to this level".

On his co-stars in the movie, Vijay said, "Genelia had acted with me in ‘Sachin’ before. A wonderful actress, she is making waves in Tollywood and Hindi films." Hansika reminds one of actress Kushboo in her heydays, he added.

Stating that he was against holding such grand events for his films, Vijay however said that he however agreed when the producer said the chief guest for the movie's launch are the actor's fans.

Director Raja, S A Chandrasekharan, 'Editor' Mohan, Vijay's wife Sangeetha, actresses Genelia, Hansika Motwani and others took part.
