Vijay Sethupathi's Karuppan press meet happened yesterday (25th September), and the whole team of Karuppan, including director Paneerselvam, heroine Tanya, and producer A.M.Rathnam were present.
 

During the press meet, Vijay Sethupathi was asked, if he would accept a National award, for Karuppan (if the film gets nominated), for its regional flavour, dealing with our culture and tradition. Makkal Selvan replied, "It is a very advanced question to answer now, but I can tell it without any doubts or second thoughts. I wouldn't accept the National award. My people and my state are important for me, first of all. I won't do that. We are being squeezed by the Central Government. I am already highly worried that our language Tamil has been removed from the train tickets. It angers me so much. I feel we should concentrate more on the action, than emotions."
