While talking about the failure of his animation film “Kochchadayan”, K.S Ravikumar has said that the computer graphics of the film was not on par with the animation films of hollywood in which they are making films with 1000 crore budget. “The animation scenes didn’t come out well in Kochchadayan. It required several more crores to be an excellent content. In foreign, they are making films with 1000 crore budget, how could we make a good animation film with 100 crores or with 50 crores?” Ravikumar asked in the interview.

Further Ravikumar said that Padayappa itself contained bad CG works as there were no facilities at that time. “Padayappa itself contained worst CG shots. Take Muthu or Villain. They also contained bad CG shots due to budget constrains” said K.S Ravikumar in the interaction.
