Happy Birthday, @actorvijay Sir. ❤️ Every year, my birthday wishes to you have been personal. But this year is different. Today, you have entrusted me with a much greater responsibility by appointing me as the Chairman of the Tamil Nadu Government MGR Film and Television Institute. I am truly overwhelmed with joy, gratitude, and a deep sense of responsibility. I sincerely promise to serve with dedication and integrity. My mission is to build a strong technical bridge between the film industry and the Institute, revive the glorious legacy of the MGR Film and Television Institute, and transform it into the finest media institute in the country. My heartfelt thanks to @CMOTamilNadu for this trust and opportunity. I will strive to justify the faith placed in me and work tirelessly for the growth of cinema education and the future of our students.

Dear @actorvijay sir ,During the Leo shoot, after you presented medals to the 10th and 12th standard students, I mentioned that next year the students would study even harder just to receive medals from you. You responded by saying that it is not that easy and that it carries great responsibility. But within no time, you went on to start the #TVK party and took on the responsibility of guiding the youth of Tamil Nadu, standing at the forefront and leading them towards a greater vision. This is a truly remarkable feat. The care you have for their future, and the responsibility you carry on your shoulders, stand tall. Though we are going to miss you so much, we are very proud of what you have achieved today, sir. @TVKVijayHQ

Time for my thanksgiving for the small part I played in the film #TheyCallHimOG. @peterheinoffl – the maverick! Matching those hero shots in the interval block showed me the command you have over the craft, Brilliance to the core . @silvastunt – my all-time favourite fight master ,The Geetha rescue sequence was pure style and swag, and that gun-loading-with-legs move is an ultimatum! @dhilipaction – my first outing with you. The climax sequence left me spellbound. Your taste for cinematic compositions, lighting, and love for anamorphic lenses is inspiring. @kevinkumar_action – the hero intro (int) sequence was fire. Your energy and enthusiasm are so evident, it translated in the screen so powerful you’re clearly a rising star in action. @prakash3933 sir – the best in the business. I still don’t know how you pulled off setting up for shooting all those sequences across three cities in such a short time! @dop007 sir – you are my inspiration. You set the bar so high for OG visuals, and we only tried to meet it. Thanks for pushing me to my limits. @DVVMovies Dhanaya garu – thank you for trusting me once again. @Sujeethsign – I always say if a film looks visually stunning, credit goes only to the director. You decide the time of day, you fight for the budget. But you went a step further: mock shoots for every sequence, stunt viz and previz for action blocks, mood boards, lighting cues, and references inspired by real art. Any DoP would have delivered the same strong result under such prep and vision you had of OG ,Hats off to you, Udhay, Bannu,Unreal Engine previz artist , and the entire AD team – fabulous work! As a strong believer in prep and previz, I was happily surprised. For this 16 days of hero’s schedule your prepped for more then Six months which shows your perseverance! And this is much deserving success you should cherish! @PawanKalyan sir – after working with you earlier, OG truly felt like seeing your Viswaroopam. Those 16 days were a roller-coaster. Back-to-back action blocks, emotional scenes, mass elevations scenes , short flights for official work, even signing official documents with blood and katana in one hand while learning Japanese lines! Too much to ask of anyone – but you delivered it all with ease and determination shows your passion for art of cinema. I always thought Vijay sir was the hardest working star hero , but you went one step ahead for OG. Thank you for trusting me again with your time. Beyond cinema, I deeply respect the way you balance time and responsibility towards the people who trust your governance – yet we still wish to see your Viswaroopam on screen again. Finally, thanks to Trivikram sir and Suresh sir for this opportunity, and to the entire team of #OG #TheyCallHimOG
