Acclaimed writer Jayakanthan said that Sujatha broke rules and created history. 'I do have differences of opinion with him but I admire him a lot,' he said. Lyricist Vairamuthu said that Sujatha had established his very own style which he dubbed as Sujathaism. Writer Manushyaputhiran of Uyirmai Padhipagam was of the opinion that it was Sujatha, who after poet Bharathi, revolutionised Tamil writing to a great extent. He also added that the publication will institute an award under the writer's name to honour budding writers. Clippings from Vijay TV's 'Sigaram Thotta Manidhargal' featuring the writer were shown sending everyone into a wave of nostalgia.
