Vijay's Kaavalan, which was screened at the Shanghai film festival on June 11, 2011, received a standing ovation from the Chinese audience. Ilayathalapathy Vijay also graced the occasion as the guest of honour. The film was screened with subtitles in Chinese and Vijay was surprised to see the audience clapping and laughing for the comedy scenes.
This is the first time I am participating in an international film festival and this is a new experience for me. Good film will impress all, inspite of the language actor and country. I am really proud and honoured today, Vijay said at the event.
I have grown up watching Jackie Chan's films and today, to screen my film in his land is really an unforgettable experience for me, he added.
