During the event, Kamal Haasan opened up about why it took so long for him to reunite with Mani Ratnam.

Kamal Haasan apologises to fans

Kamal and Mani last worked together on the classic Nayakan. Reflecting on the long gap, Kamal said, “Nothing has changed between Mani Ratnam and me even after all these years. It’s our fault for waiting this long to come together. We were in search of better scripts, and it took this long for us to collaborate. We are now working together again because of you, the audience, who wanted this reunion. We should have done it earlier. I’m sorry.”
