The actor talked about the filming of Dil Se, "I came down here and shot Dil Se which was my first experience of a Tamil film and of course (making steps of Chaiyya Chaiyya) 'chal chaiyya chaiyya' then I got to know wonderful Mr. Kamal Haasan and I worked with him, for him in a film called Hey Ram and that was the first and last time I have ever spoken Tamil because I spoke Tamil in that film. And then, the greatest of all became my friend by coming over one night and doing one shot for my film Ravan, the great Rajinikanth."

Shah Rukh also expressed gratitude to the Tamil film industry, saying, "I actually have never attended a function for a film like this in my life. So thank you to all the college kids, boys, and girls who have come from far. Thank you, all the amazing filmmakers and the talented, outstanding film industry of Tamil Nadu, for having me here, I'm humbled, thank you."
