With Velaikkaran's release just around the corner, Sivakarthikeyan has become a busy artist. While shooting for his upcoming film with his hit director, Ponram, he is also promoting the Mohan Raja directorial. In a recent exclusive interaction with Behindwoods, Sivakarthikeyan has some kind words to say about his Velaikkaran teammates.

On Mohan Raja - "In the past one-and-a-half years, I've never heard of him attending any personal or family functions. He is such a hard worker that you'll only hear that he is at the shooting spot, or at some discussion, or at the dubbing studio or the edit suite."

About Anirudh - "He has composed five songs for us in this film. All the five songs have come out very different from the kind of albums he has given me in the past. I've seen him score the background music; he worked day and night for this. He works so well, but in the end, he will come to us like a child and ask us if it is good."

About Ramji - "There will be a lot of work, but I've never seen him complain about being tired. He is very calm, composed and very loyal to his work. He will do only what is necessary for the movie. He never compromised to make me look better or anything of that sort. Except in the songs, he just did what was required for the script."

On Fahad Faasil - "He is a very good friend of mine. I always tell him that he is an international actor. He hasn't spoken Tamil too much before this film, but his first scene in this movie had five pages of Tamil dialogues. So many words were new to him, but he aced it! It never affected his performer, either."

On RJ Balaji - "I've known him for the past two years. We play cricket together! He always plays on my opponent team, and he will keep talking! He never stops talking. I also used to tell him 'Please buddy, be quiet, let us play'. He keeps everyone around him, happy!"
