During the occasion of audio launch of Aarumugam, Bharath spoke how his gain is Rajnikanth’s loss. He said “Rajnikanth sir felt that he had missed such a nice title from Suresh Krishna who gave blockbusters together like ‘Baasha’ and ‘Anna Malai’.

I am really excited for having got that title and hope this film would gain me superstar titles. It’s an action packed entertainer with lots of mother and sister sentiments. Ramya Krishnan is sure to make high waves after her grandiloquent Padaiyappa.” - Sampurn Media
