How did Suriya react to Karthi's Meiyazhagan?
During a promotional interview with a radio station, Karthi, who was seated with the cast and director C. Prem Kumar, opened up about Suriya’s response after watching the family drama. He revealed that Suriya gave him a warm hug, something he hadn’t experienced since his debut film Paruthiveeran (2007). Karthi shared, “After watching this film, he came up to me while I was eating, and just like that, hugged me. I think this kind of reaction is something I haven’t received since my debut in Paruthiveeran. It’s very special.”
He also mentioned that Suriya visited the sets of Meiyazhagan, joking that his brother’s visits would cause disruptions because of the large crowds that gathered whenever he was around.
