The actor was seen in tears when fans took him over their shoulders and celebrated. Crowd cheered Arun by shouting his character name 'Victor'. The actor watched the movie at Kasi Theatre in Chennai along with producer AM Rathnam
"A big thank you to Gautam sir for giving me the opportunity to explore myself as an actor through #Victor !!! No words to thank Ajith Sir for letting me share screen space with him... #Victor couldn't have been possible without him," tweeted Arun Vijay.
In "Yennai Arindhaal", director Gautham Menon has given Arun one of the most challenging characters of his life and the actor justified the role given to him with his excellent performance.
