Karthik Subbaraj's savage reply to a journalist
During the success meet, one of the reporters asked Karthik Subbaraj how he managed to extract work out of Nimisha Sajayan opposite the scenes with Raghava Lawrence. He added that the actress did a fantastic job in her debut Tamil film, Chithha, despite being 'not so beautiful'.
While responding to the question, Karthik Subbaraj, asked the reporter, how Nimisha is not beautiful. He then said, "Maybe it's your mindset. You can't say someone is not beautiful. That's a very wrong perception." His savage reply has won many hearts.
