Legacy

A dialogue from the film, Trisha illana Divya (If not Trisha, then Divya) spoken by Vadivelu attained popular usage across Chennai after the film's release. The dialogue also inspired the title of Adhik Ravichandran's Trisha Illana Nayanthara (2015), in which the main character adapts a similarly flexible attitude regarding his choice of lover.[4] The dialogue "Aei ennaya vechi comedy kemedy panalayae" (Hey Are you making fun or trolling me?) also become famous and used in many movies later for its modulation. A dialogue spoken by Vadivelu, "Naanum Rowdythan" (I too am a rowdy) later inspired the title of a movie Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.[5][6]
