Realising the impact that it could create, the actor immediately released a statement of apology.

I am going to act in director Ponram’s film, in which the sword plays an important role. Since I celebrated my birthday with Ponram and the team, I used the sword to cut my cake. Many pointed out that this is a bad example. Hereon, I will be careful. If I had hurt anyone, I apologise and regret my action.” This incident reminded people of Chennai police arresting goons for cutting their birthday cakes with a sword.
