Vasanth Ravi's note read, " When Asvins hit theatres, our team was no exception to the sleepless nights endured by numerous film crews, eagerly awaiting the genuine verdict during the season of heavy releases.

He added, "To our delight, Asvins has not only drawn larger crowds during its second and third week run but has now completed an impressive 25-day stint, with film enthusiasts still singing its praises. The success of content-driven films in winning audience's hearts is undeniable, and I am elated that Asvins has joined their ranks and has been declared as the horror blockbuster for this year in Tamil cinema."

Vasanth Ravi stated that the film's success has fuelled his desire to stretch his limits. "This triumph  fuels my desire and responsibility to stretch my limits and explore my potential by embracing challenging scripts and roles in the coming years!"

Asvins is a psychological thriller directed by debutant Tarun Teja and marks Vimala Raman's comeback in Tamil. The supporting cast includes Muralidharan, Saraswathi Menon, Udhaya Deep and Simran Pareek to name a few.
