In his recent interview, Shankar mentioned that 'I' could have hit the screens last October itself, and he is waiting for Aascar Ravichandran to announce the release date. The media has raised the same question to Ravichandran and it seems that he showed the clippings of Mersalaayten` song and the people, who witnessed the same was completely floored by looking at the quality of the song.

“Had I made 'I' only to increase my bank balance, I would have released the movie long ago. All I can assure that, my movie will make people talk about the 100 years of Tamil cinema. As a team, we have spent close to 3 years for this prestigious product, and I`m sure that, I` will be setting a new benchmark in filmmaking,” – says Ravichandra.
