"When this chap came to my office for the first time I addressed him as Sethu. That was his character name in Suseenthiran's 'Pandiyanadu', He had done the role so well that his character name got registered in my mind as his name. Mar my words, within two years from now he will become a big star of his own might. I am confident about that. Even if I fail to facilitate that or no one helps him in that process things will automatically fall in place for him. Opportunities will come knocking to this talented youngster. I wish him the best."
