And the tweet got an interesting reply from actor Vishnu Vishal. The star had replied, “Sar unbelievable...its been almost 14 years when i met you first for an opportunity in #chennai28...Time flies Wil always be a special film for tamil audiences...” revealing that he did try to get into the star cast but could not make it for some reason.
