Speaking about the Indian 2 accident, Parthiban stated, "It wasn't just a crane that had fallen down, but the dreams of three ambitious youngsters that have taken a fall. I'm hurting a lot more after I found out my friend, Cartoonist Madhan's son-in-law, had lost his life as well. There are a lot of struggles behind the lives of these assistant directors because they let go of better job opportunities and choose to enter films and garner experience to become big directors." Parthiban then added saying, "We must be more careful at the shooting spot as the profession is as such. I'm currently making a one shot film (Iravin Nizhal) and there will be a lot of cranes involved during the shooting. There are sequences with rain and a scene that will be set around a fire backdrop. I'm scared to even imagine about the fire as there will be over 100 people involved during the shooting of the scene. I'm thinking how careful I must be while filming that sequence. The incident at the Indian 2 shooting spot was never pre-planned and happened beyond anybody's control, which is giving me much sadness."
