''I'll feel proud if Vikram gets a National Award for I''

The 'I' audio launch which was held on 15th September, will be an event which will forever stay in the memory of anyone who attended it. This grand event, which was graced by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Superstar Rajini along with Shankar, A.R.Rahman and the film's lead face Vikram, would soon be telecast on TV.

 

We present to you what director Shankar said at the launch. It was an elaborate thanksgiving speech, as the great man thanked each and every person who worked in his movie and also those who made the launch event a spectacular one. 

 

"I thank Arnold for accepting our invitation and coming for the event. This has been an unforgettable experience. I have not disturbed Rajini too many times. Already he has a lot of problems and commitments with Lingaa. But I really wanted him to come for the event. When I requested him, he said he would surely come as a friend.

Everybody says that they have given their life, acting in a particular movie. But Vikram has given his body for 'I'. All those who have seen 'I' say that he will get a national award. I will feel proud if he gets one but even if he doesn't, he will surely get the biggest applause from fans and the audience.

Producer Aascar Ravichandran told me that he had made many films and did not want to make a usual movie again. He asked me for a script that would take us to the next level. That is how 'I' happened.

This is not a movie based on Olympics or any other game. This is not a movie based on bribery or corruption or the plots that I usually take. This is something that I have not touched till now. This is a romantic  thriller."
