Sivakarthikeyan has attended the audio launch function of Vikram's Irumugan. Talking at the function, the actor said "Vikram never looks old even at this age. In my initial stages of my career, Vikram sir has encouraged me a lot with his words.
After watching Irumugan trailer, I can see, no one (not even me), can compare their efforts, to the efforts taken by Vikram for his movies.""P.C.Sreeram has said several times that Vikram deserves a national award for "I", But I would say that awards dont define an actor, but the applause and cheers of the fans does."
