Jason Sanjay, son of actor-turned-politician Vijay, has addressed the expectations surrounding his directorial debut Sigma. In an interview, he acknowledged that his family background brings both affection and scrutiny, but said he is not worried as the film will speak for itself. He added that people may assume his path was easier, but it is not his job to justify that.
The filmmaker said the pressure of being Vijay's son has pushed him to give 200 per cent effort, calling it a 'blessing in disguise'. Cinemaexpress.com reports he became more conscious of the responsibility as he grew older. Onlykollywood.com adds that the attention has motivated him to work harder and take his journey more seriously.
Sigma stars Sundeep Kishan and Faria Abdullah, blending action, adventure and heist elements. The film, produced by Lyca Productions, was originally scheduled for a July 31 release but has been postponed. It is now set to hit cinemas on October 2.
