"Vishwanath is a great cinematographer, director, producer and you can call him with many ways. For me he is like a elder brother. Me, RC Sakthi and Viswanath united like the members of a family reuniting after a long gap. Our friendship strengthened during 'Sattam En Kayyil.'. After that, Viswanath and I have worked together in many films and we have also directed a film together. Our marvellous friendship grew beyond the barriers of film business. He was a great technician. Many of his former assistants are making wonders in the film industry today. That proves his greatness. I will be proud forever that I have worked with him and I convey my condolences to his bereaved family members."
