He is quoted saying, “I didn’t act as a transgender for the sake if winning awards. When director Thiagarajan Kumararaja narrated the script of Super Deluxe, he asked me to take a week’s time and decide whether to play the particular role but I told him that whenever he directs the film, I would play Shilpa. I didn’t meet anyone to prepare for my role. I considered myself as a transgender to perform in the film.
