His trust on Vetirmaaran, whose script he had full faith in, seems to have paid off well. With Polladhavan being the only other hit after Vel, among Deepavali releases. Dhanush has gifted director Vetrimaaran a car for his feat. However, actor Ajith started this trend in the film industry. It was with Vaali, his first hit after a long time, he gifted the movie’s director S.J. Suryah with a car. It was a trend that almost every other actor in Kollywood emulated, with even Vijay following it after the success of Gilli. Surely a PR skill that seems to work wonders for them.
