Balaji, who produced the original version of 'Billa' and donned the important role of the DSP, complemented the makers of the new version of 'Billa'. He saw the film in a special show organized for him in the Four Frames theatre in Chennai on December 15.

The veteran actor cum producer felt that the film had come out as a grand product. He congratulated the entire team for the work.

He however, felt that the side track involving Thengai Srinivasan in the original could have been added more flavour to the new version.

Earlier, Ajith had arranged a special show for his co stars like Vijay, Suriya, and Karthi in the same venue on the evening of December 14. Vijay came to the show with his wife Sangeetha. All of them were said to be quite pleased with the movie in general and with Ajith’s performance in particular.

The friendliness displayed after the show proved that the so called rivalry between the leading stars – particularly between Ajith and Vijay - looked as an imagination or just a creation by media.
