Dhyan Sreenivasan's light-hearted remark about Navya Nair, followed by her equally witty response, has gone viral on social media after the pooja ceremony of their upcoming Malayalam film Visitor.

During the event, Dhyan recalled that he had often spoken about his admiration for Navya in his interviews. Taking the humour a step further, he joked that if he ever became the Chief Minister, he wanted Navya to be seated in the front row at his swearing-in ceremony, dressed in a saree and moved to tears. The quip was a playful reference to Trisha attending actor Vijay's swearing-in ceremony as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.

Addressing the gathering, Dhyan said, "I began my interview journey by expressing my admiration for Navya. On the day I take oath as Chief Minister, I want Navya to be seated in the front row wearing a saree, with tears in her eyes."

Navya responded with equal humour, saying that whenever she feels low, she watches Dhyan's interviews on YouTube because they instantly lift her spirits.

She added that she had earlier searched for veteran actor Sreenivasan's interviews to enjoy his trademark wit, but now Dhyan's candid and entertaining conversations have become a source of comfort for many Malayalis. Navya joked that she hoped Dhyan would not forget to invite her to his imaginary swearing-in ceremony and reserve a front-row seat for her, dressed in a white saree with a green border, wearing a diamond necklace and cheering him on.

Visitor, directed by Rahul Muraleedharan, features an ensemble cast led by Urvashi, Navya Nair and Dhyan Sreenivasan. The film marks the first on-screen collaboration between the three actors.
