When asked if Leo 2 is possible, he said, "Everything is possible, but there should a time for that. His (Vijay) ambition, right now, is concentrating on higher levels, so I congratulate him. There is always a possibility of Leo 2 and will surely make if and when he calls me.”

Regarding Irumbu Kai Mayavi, the director added, “I read Irumbu Kai Mayavi in childhood and when I entered cinema, I wanted to write something that is rooted as well. But since it is an ambitious and expensive project, I did not want to take it up as my first film and pushed it for a while. Now that I am doing my sixth film, I may do about four films and then do the film at my own time.”
