director Gireesaaya's adithya Varma, which marks the debut of actor Vikram's son, dhruv Vikram, as a hero in tamil cinema, has received a  heartwarming and tremendous response from audiences. The film, which released on november 22, took a grand opening and is running to full houses across the state.

 
Dhruv Vikram's performance in the film has not only won the hearts of audiences but also that of the critics. His performance has come in for praise from various quarters. In a bid to express their gratitude to both fans and the media for their support to the film, the team of adithya Varma organized a press conference at a prominent star hotel in the city on Sunday.

Participating in the meet and greet event, cinematographer-cum-actor dhanush, who played one of Dhruv's friends in the film, said, "When I saw this film in telugu, I was so impressed by it. I too wanted to work in an emotional film like this. When I got an opportunity to work in this film, I was excited. I am a cinematographer. But suddenly vikram sir one day said, "You do this role. On my first day, I couldn't even walk straight. But then, slowly, I began to learn and do well."

Dhanush, while heaping praises on actor dhruv, said, "Initially, I didn't expect much from dhruv because he too is debuting with this film. But when I saw him act in the drug scene, I was overwhelmed. I realized that this guy was a real talent and it is not without reason that they were rating him high."

Speaking on the occasion, music director radhan said, "Thanks to my mom. She is the reason for all the stages that I am on today. I am basically a sound engineer. All the claps we get have to go to vikram sir. One year ago, dhruv and I were wondering what to do. It was because of vikram sir that we are here today. More than us, it was vikram sir who worked on this film. Gireesaaya is one of the most patient directors. He is someone who encouraged me. Today, everybody we meet says that dhruv has acted so well in this film. This gives me great joy. Had it not been for Shaurya sir and vikram sir, this project would not have happened. All the appreciation we get for this film must go to vikram sir and all the credit for hard work must go to Dhruv."
