Meanwhile, Rajinikanth, who spoke to the media following news of the passing, said that the six-time National Award-winning director is as innocent as a child and would always spoke his mind openly.

"If he liked, he'd say he liked. Else, he'd say no. He has even told me, 'I like you, but I don't like your acting'," Rajinikanth said. "Not just that, he was among those who first raised his voice for anybody, be it producers, directors or anyone who had a problem. No matter how many years pass, his creations will never be forgotten. His name will continue to remain in the hearts of Tamil people forever."
