During the audio launch of director Nelson Venkatesan's film 'DNA', where he stars alongside Nimisha Sajayan, Atharvaa began with a light-hearted note, stating, "I intended to discuss various aspects of DNA. But Mari Sir's unexpected revelation stole the show."
He continued, "So much has transpired since 'Pardesi'. 'Pariyerum Perumal' stands out as one of the finest films I've seen in the past decade. I genuinely admire it. However, I have no regrets for not being part of 'Pariyerum Perumal' as Kathir has delivered an outstanding performance."
