After a long wait, Sivakarthikeyan's much-awaited alien film 'Ayalaan' hit the screens finally on the Pongal weekend. Directed by R Ravikumar, the makers had endured a lot of struggles and sacrifices in their journey to bring this magnum opus film to the silver screens.

Ayalaan, produced by KJR Studios, was touted to be the Indian film with the most number of VFX shots. The sci-fi entertainer had more than 4500 CGI and VFX shots done by Phantom FX. This film earned unanimous praise for its visuals and graphics. Now, actor Suriya appreciated the VFX work and presented the VFX company with a token of appreciation.

Suriya sent a flower bouquet with a note saying, "Loved the work done by all at Phantom! Shows your passion to excel! Amazing output won all our hearts! Much love, Suriya" (sic). It is worth mentioning that director Ravikumar hinted at working with Suriya on a sci-fi project under Dream Warrior Pictures. The actor's gesture added fuel to these reports.

Taking to Twitter (X), Phantom FX's CEO and VFX supervisor Bejoy Arputharaj shared images of Suriya's bouquet and thanked him in a long note. His post is now going viral on the internet. It says:

"The @phantomfx_india team is truly elated to share the overwhelming appreciation we received from the esteemed actor @Suriya_offl for our VFX work in the movie "Ayalaan."
