First of all I would like to thank ‘Supreme Star’ Sarathkumar for loving me and director Vikraman sir and agreeing to play an important role in this film. I am grateful to both Gautham Vasudev Menon and Samuthirakani for agreeing to the story and character. Many thanks to Sithara who agreed to play an important role and to all those who played supporting roles. Even though I made my assistant directors work as the directors of this movie, they made the screenplay very good. I also asked Sarathkumar and Gautham for their feedback. Thank you everyone for making it happen.”
Director Desingh Periyasamy said: “The quality of the film, which is being developed amidst various obstacles, is evident from the trailer. Rather than Vijay Kanishka playing the lead role, Sarathkumar and Gautham Menon have acted better as characters. I wish this film a huge success.”
Director Perarasu said: “I see this event as a family festival. Director Vikraman was introduced by a big production company like Super Good Films and today to express his devotion to him, Director KS Ravikumar has made a film with his son under his home production. This is the love between Vikraman and KS Ravikumar. Vijay Kanishka will be a successful hero and the film will be a huge success,” he said.
Producer Kalaippuli S Thanu said: “”The films directed by Vikraman and KS Ravikumar have brought good revenue to the producers. I wish the achievements of them both will reach Vijay Kanishka”.
Actor Jayam Ravi said: “It is because of the love of directors KS Ravikumar and Vikraman that so many directors have attended the event here. Both are great personalities of Indian cinema. I hope that Vijay Kanishka will live up to their name and become one of the popular names in Indian cinema. You have received the same support that I received when I made my debut. Also, I am very proud to have the opportunity to introduce you. I wish this film a success.”
Actor Jiiva said: “I have acted as a child artiste in the direction of KS Ravikumar and Vikraman, so this feels like a family event. Everyone came to congratulate me even when I made my debut. I also managed to give great films. Their greetings will be a great blessing to you Kanishka. I wish you all the best. My best wishes to the directors and RK Celluloids.”
Director Karthik Subbaraj said: “My best wishes to Vijay Kanishka, music director C. Sathya and the directors. I would also like to thank Vikraman sir who was the main reason behind the release of my second film Jigarthanda”, he said.
Director K. Bhagyaraj said: “This is more like a thanksgiving ceremony than an audio launch. We have to thank Super Good Films R.B. Choudhary. He has served Tamil cinema by introducing new directors. I had watched ‘Hit List’ and the film has indeed come out well. I wish Vijay Kanishka the best”, he said.
Director Mysskin said: “Vikraman Sir has named his son after a great king. I love all the titles of his films like Vanathaippola, Poove Unakkaga. They are very poetic.

They are the best people and I want to be associated with them forever. No matter how many problems KS Ravikumar and I face, we sort it out as he is a golden person. This is a family event. Vijay Kanishka has excelled as a debutant. C Sathya’s music is excellent. I wish the film ‘Hitlist’ a huge success.”
Producer Suresh Kamatchi said: “This stage is filled with positivity as it’s been graced by people like K. Bhagyaraj, R Parthiban, Vikraman, K.S. Ravikumar and others. Vijay Kanishka has a great future. I hope the film will be successful”, he said.
Director RV Udhayakumar said: “I have travelled together with director K.S. Ravikumar and director Vikraman. Vikraman is also one of the reasons for the success of the directors’ association. He has set his son on the right track in the film industry amidst various family circumstances. To make the film ‘Hit List’ a success, it’s up to the audience and the fans.”
Director Vikraman said: “KS Ravikumar himself spoke about everything I wanted to share. I express my sincere gratitude to him for making this film. I am not speaking as a father, but as a director; Vijay Kanishka has acted well. This film will definitely be a hit. I wish him more success.”
