The festival of lights - Deepavali is almost upon us and the whole country is in a festive mood. Meanwhile, Thalapathy Vijay fans are gearing up for a double dhamaka, as this festival is extra special for them, with their idol's movie Bigil all set to release tomorrow. A day before the release - today, Bigil's director Atlee came on Twitter for an interactive session with his followers. During this session, he answered a lot of queries from the fans, on Bigil and also many other different topics. One question that came his way, was one word from him on Thala Ajith.

To this, Atlee responded by saying, "I have great respect for Ajith sir!!" He added that his recent favourites among Ajith movies were Viswasam and Nerkonda Paarvai. This is indeed a very heartwarming thing as the general opinion amongst the public is that fans of Ajith and Vijay don't get along with each other and Atlee is a self-professed big time fan of Vijay. The interactive session with Atlee was very interesting and almost all the members who were a part of Bigil, including Kathir and lyricist Vivek posed their questions to him and Atlee responded to every single one of them.
