He also addressed confusion surrounding fan associations, stating that he had not established or approved any official fan club or community group. The clarification comes as the filmmaker continues to attract attention following his entry into the Tamil film industry.

In his statement, Jason listed the social media profiles that he personally manages or has authorised, asking followers to rely only on these accounts for updates and communication.

He wrote, "I am here by writing to formally inform my official, authorized social media identities. Please be advised that the accounts listed below are the only profiles managed, owned, or authorized by me: ·Instagram: • User name - jason.sanjay_official; Link: https://www.instaram.com/jason.sanjay_official?igsh=NjcwbXRnNThtcmw0. Facebook: User name - Jason Sanjay. Twitter: User name - Jason Sanjay Official; Link - https://x.com/official_jsj."

The filmmaker stressed that any other account using his name, photographs or a similar identity should not be treated as genuine.

He added, "Any other accounts, pages, or profiles operating under my name, likeness, or variations of my identity on these or any other digital platforms are entirely fake. Consequently, any posts, comments, direct messages, business solicitations, or communications originating from any accounts not explicitly listed above are not mine.

The statement serves as a caution to followers who may encounter accounts claiming to represent the director or offering opportunities in his name.

Speaking about his filmmaking philosophy, Jason had emphasised that entertainment remained central to the project, while expressing hope that the film would appeal to viewers beyond regional and linguistic boundaries.

"As a team, we have left no stone unturned to make Sigma an entertaining and engaging cinematic saga. We have worked with the intention of creating a film that can cut across regional and linguistic barriers and connect with audiences across territories. I believe confidence in a project must always come with humility. With that confidence and sheer humility, I request audiences to watch Sigma in theatres from October 2 and experience the film with us," he urged audiences.

He had concluded his pre-release statement by acknowledging his position as a newcomer and seeking the support of cinema audiences.
