Speaking at the Thanks meet of '96' Vijay Sethupathi made it clear that there is no problem between him and Vishal He said "Such problems happening to films at the last moment is nothing new. It has been happening for many years. We cannot blame any individual for this. It is like a circle. No one knows where it started and where it will end. So no one can be held responsible for this.

I personally feel that such obstacles come only when you are growing, when you have to reach the next phase. So I see this as an indicator of my growth."
