Further, actor Vijay had also promised the filmmakers that he'd watch the film soon. He is reported to have expressed keen interest in watching Pariyerum Perumal after hearing positive reviews about it.
In an interview to Behindwoods, actor Kathir had said, "Actor Vijay had called me recently to congratulate me on the movie. It is not everyday that this happens. He said he is very happy for the whole team to come up with such a product. Not all films are spoken about like this. Since he is busy with Sarkar, he said he'll watch the movie after the audio launch which is happening tomorrow but will surely catch it in theatres after that. It feels so surreal. The feeling is something like all Vijay fans coming together and wishing me. Goosebumps. "
DMK President MK Stalin has also watched the movie at a private screening on Friday. He was quoted by Deccan Chronicle saying that “Had my father, late Kalaignar, watched Pariyerum.....he would have heaped high praise for Pariyan. After a long time, I am watching a brilliant movie”. He was accompanied by his wife Durga Stalin, SonUdhayanidhi and his wife Kiruthiga.
