The audio launch of the film took place recently, and during the ceremony, Vikram's poignant recollection of an accident that changed his life has gone viral. He spoke about the challenging period he endured and his remarkable comeback.

Vikram recounted the incident from his college days when he was beginning to dream about a career in cinema. The leg injury happened while he was preparing to act in a college play, with his leg broken from the knee to the ankle.
