Milton says, "Captain (Vijayakanth) is an example for many, and I had a strong connection with the beloved actor. I tried my best to rope in Vijayakanth sir for a character in '
Mazhai Pidikkatha Manithan
' as a fan. The character was sketched to be an homage to his life, but I failed to make it due to the actor's health condition. However, I cherish the moments of meeting the legendary actor multiple times to narrate the character, and I will remember the time I shared with Vijayakanth sir all my life."
