At the event, Dhanush recalled the story behind Rahman coming onboard his film. "When I called Rahman sir, I informed him that this was my 50th film and wished to see the tag ‘An AR Rahman Musical’ along with it. He asked me to give him two days to respond. When he called back, Rahman sir told me that he was working on as many as 30 films at that moment. ‘It’s a very tough yes, but I am giving you a yes,’ he said. I will always cherish the memories of working with you,” he said.
