In the interview, she spoke about how his image has grown beyond cinema and why his appeal continues to resonate strongly with audiences in Tamil Nadu.

The conversation also covered her experience working with Madhavan and her support for women-led stories, reflecting her wider views on how the industry is changing.
The interview further looked back at an important phase of Priyamani’s own career, including the effect Paruthiveeran had on her professional journey. By connecting her personal milestones with Vijay’s changing path, the discussion offered a broad snapshot of Tamil cinema, star power and the growing overlap between film and public life.
