Actor Sivakarthikeyan, who is now basking in the success of his Velaikkaran, posted a video today, New Year's day, to wish his fans for the occasion as well as express his gratitude for the support given to his film.

He said, "I thank all of you for helping Velaikkaran become a success. Our intention of taking across a good message to the public has been supported extremely well, and it encourages me to be part of such films in the future. It gave me lots of happiness when the audiences switched on their phone flashlights during the climax.

All of you have helped me end 2017 on a very happy note, giving me hope and determination. May the new year bring you all that you wished for, and be a happier year than 2017.

The world's greatest word is action."
