Kavin, who is eagerly awaiting the release of his upcoming drama film Star, is busy with the promotions. During a recent media interaction, the actor opened up about Thalapathy Vijay’s son, Jason Sanjay, approaching him to star in his directorial debut. The actor revealed that he had met Jason and discussed a project. “We had a meeting and I informed him about the other projects I have committed to. He said that he would discuss it with his team and get back to me. However, I didn't hear back from him. And I was also busy with my work. So, as of now, I don't have much to say about that project,” Kavin revealed. 

The actor also spoke about how humble Jason is, noting that he is humbler than his father, Thalapathy Vijay. “I have met Vijay sir. When I was going to meet Jason, I had a different perception of him. But he is even more simple and humble than his father,” the actor said.
