At a recent press conference, actor Chiyaan Vikram emphasized the need for enhanced protection for women. “All women should be safe and free to walk anywhere, even at 3 a.m. They should feel confident about returning home safely. Every man should work towards providing safety and security. It is disheartening to witness the atrocities against women,” he stated.

Reflecting on his role as a creative individual, Vikram pondered how his films could contribute to societal change. “When we become aware of the issues around us, we can get emotional. I often wonder if my films can address these concerns or if we can do more. What must we, as a country, do? The entire system needs to be overhauled and restarted from scratch. This is essential,” Vikram added.
