What Siddharth said

At the trailer launch, Siddharth said in Tamil, “My parents are a part of 3BHK. I will tell you all what that means. Since the time I began my journey in films, and this is my 40th film as an actor… when I was sharing this with my parents, my father [Suryanarayanan] had pride and relief on his face. Everyone has made me cry in this film; it's an emotional film. I am so glad this is my 40th film. Both my parents trusted me, took care of me, spent their own money for my life.” He was seen wiping off tears with a handkerchief as he made this speech.
