However, Vijay was the one who calmed everyone else and told them not to worry about the budget. In conclusion, he added, 'I have heard similar stories from Kantara and other projects. He always tells the technicians, 'Quality is most important for my films. That's why I want to work with him, because he never compromises on quality.'
