During a media interaction in Chennai marking his silver jubilee in the industry, Yuvan recalled how the moment reached him. He shared how Vijay made sure the message reached him personally.“Vijay's associate sent a picture of his son [Jason] wearing a T-shirt saying ‘Yuvanism’. I did not know how to react. When I met Vijay later, he said that he had asked his associate to send the photo to me. He revealed that his son was my fan and that he wanted me to know.

I did not share the photo because it is an extremely personal moment.”At the time, Yuvan was celebrating 25 remarkable years in cinema. Over the decades, he had built a loyal fan base with his emotionally rich and experimental music.
