Recalling the incident, Black Pandi said he spoke about Sivakarthikeyan in an interview several years ago when asked about other actors. He mentioned that he could not reach Sivakarthikeyan at the time. Later, after hearing that Black Pandi was facing financial difficulties, Sivakarthikeyan offered to help him through his manager. The manager visited Black Pandi’s house and handed him money.However, Black Pandi said he hoped for a chance to act rather than financial support. Explaining his thoughts at the time, he said, “That money was not what I wanted. If Sivakarthikeyan recommended me for an opportunity, I could get a chance to act. My mother and I felt that getting an opportunity would be better.” He also recalled keeping Rs 20 from the money near a picture of God and praying for a chance in films.
