He praised all the actors’ performance and concluded saying ‘Sir’ is a film for every parent and every student.
DOP Yuvraj said, “Audience received the movie emotionally. Dhanush lived in the character of Balu sir. Our director Venky got a distinction in the exam (the movie). I am happy that I worked with so many talented actors”.
Saikumar opened his speech with Gurubhyo Namahaa and praised the audience for making Sir a grand success. He said, “I got congratulatory messages from people around the world.
