Rangaraj Pandey asked GVM to choose between Ilayaraaja and AR Rahman and the filmmaker, after a pause, said that would go with the latter. Choosing between Stalin and Pinarayi Vijayan, chief minister of Tamil nadu and his native Kerala, Gautham chose Stalin. “I very well know CM sir, his family and h and Vijay, Gautham said Udhay personally. I don’t know much about Kerala Chief minister” he added.

Between Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, GVM chose Kamal without a second thought. Among Ajith and Vijay, Gautham said Vijay as his choice.
