Only recently director Bharathi Raja spoke of how he regrets missing work opportunities with Vijay and now director Cheran has confessed to the same via his social media page. Quoting an old interview of Vijay's where the actor can be seen praising Cheran and his film Autograph (which was originally offered to the Thalapathy actor), the director tweeted,
"I shouldn't have made that mistake. Vijay wanted me to direct a new film with him but I thought of not incurring any loss to the producer of Thavamai Thavamirunthu and missed the opportunity. I would like to convey my regrets to Vijay in person.
My Autograph narration to Vijay was unforgettable, he didn't use his mobile phone for three hours and completely respected my script. All he asked me was whether I would like to have some water. That dedication is his victory"
