In her address, Alia praised Samantha lauding her achievements as well as requested director Trivikram Srinivas to cast the two in a film.
My dearest Samantha, rightfully so, you are a hero on and off screen. I have no much admiration for your talent, resilience, strength. Its not easy to be a woman in a mans world. But you have surpassed gender. You stand tall on your two feet, Alia said.
They (people) say usually actresses compete with each other but there is no such thing. I am grateful to have a pan-India superstar here to support my film and say such kind words for my film, she added.
