Vijay was quoted saying, "I came to Bombay some 5-6 years back to get my visa appointment, and it got rejected. I ended up not liking the city. I stayed in my friend's apartment at Sion, and I found the city very hot. I always wanted to be an actor, at that time, I was doing some supporting roles. I never thought that six years later, I will be in Bombay, talking to the entire media (about the film). Forget Bombay, but going to Gujarat, Bihar, and receiving so much love for something that I love doing."
