College Grounds in Coimbatore on 23-12-2011. Vijay's dad and director
SA Chandrasekar released the audio which was received by Prabhu.
Vijay entertained the audiences by singing the Yedho Unnale song from
the film. During this speech, he thanked director Shankar for giving
him the opportunity to star in Nanban. Vijay added that he made
several true friends during the making of Nanban and attributed this
to the film's title. The star was indicating that Jiiva, Srikanth, and
others are his good friends and is happy to be associated with them.
He was then honored with an enormous garland and a crown.
Shankar had an interesting episode to narrate about how he came to
direct a remake. When Shankar was busy with Endhiran, the shooting was
delayed one fine day. This earned him an opportunity to see 3 Idiots.
As soon as he saw the film, Shankar said that he decided to go for a
remake. That is how Nanban was born!
Praising Vijay, Shankar said that he is one actor after Rajinikanth to
be present on the sets punctually. Shankar revealed that SJ Suryah
lapped up the role in Nanban, something which he did not do even for
Endhiran. That is how meaty his role is in Nanban, added Shankar.
Jiiva, Sathyaraj, Srikanth, SJ Suryah and others had good words to
share about their co-stars.
