There are so many sacrifices a filmmaker and the lead actor of a film is making” Vamsi said in the interview.

“Thalapathy Vijay is working hard for every film. He rehearses for every song and practices before saying a dialogue in front of the camera. Only efforts are in our hands, results are not” Vamsi said and went on to state that he is making films for audience who enjoyed “Varisu” and not for the critics.

“What serials?? Why are you degrading serials?? Lives of your grandmother and uncle are getting engaged because of TV serials. Why are you degrading it?? Thats also a creative job. If you are putting down people, remember that you are putting down yourself. Don’t be so negative. It will start eating you” he further said.
