Tovino took to his Twitter handle to share pictures with Vikram and called the latter his 'idol'. Sharing the photos, the' Neelavelicham' actor wrote, "A moment of pure, uncontainable fandom! I had the incredible opportunity to meet the maestro himself - Vikram sir. How do I describe what he has been to me, growing up. I had watched Annyan countless times, and I remember that each time his performance would hit different. Trying to be Vikram-cool was the aspiration."
He continued, "Even as cinema happened, and when something off the flow comes up, my thoughts, plans, references - everything would have his presence. And I just got to spend some supercool time with this idol⦠And truly an idol! To top the style, charm and superabilities, he speaks with such humility and acknowledgement. I'm overwhelmed in different ways. Will stick to the fanboy hit, because that is the most dreamy."
