We shall hope he will start to eliminate such disparities with this film as the beginning." He then praised Mari Selvaraj and 'Vaigai Puyal' Vadivelu.
மாமன்னன் திரைப்படம், பட்டியலின மக்களின் சட்டமன்ற உறுப்பினர்கள், சமூக நீதியை கொள்கையாக கொண்டுள்ள அரசியல் கட்சியாக இருந்தாலும், கட்சியில் உள்ள மற்ற உயர் வகுப்பினர் சாதி அடிப்படையில் ஏற்றத்தாழ்வுகளை அவர்களுக்கு எப்படி நிகழ்த்துகிறார்கள் என்பதை அப்பட்டமாக காட்சிப்படுத்தி இருக்கிறது.…

Udhayanidhi Stalin has also responded to the statement by Pa. Ranjith. He began by thanking the director for his praises and said if caste-based disparities are present they must be removed from any party and not just “Kazhagam”. He highlighted that his political party has been spreading awareness of self-respect to many. He further said that on the political level, the government is constantly fighting for social justice through laws and programs. "From a Parashakti to Maamannan, we have been continuously promoting social justice in art forms. It is an unfinished century-long struggle for equality against a thousand-year-old “Sanathanam”. He further added, “We all know a single film cannot bring revolution in society, In the pathway shown by Periyar-Amedhkar, let's make the change happen by bringing forth conversation with people." He then thanked Ranjith for having hope on his part and in him.
`மாமன்னன்' திரைப்படத்தைப் பாராட்டிய இயக்குநர் சகோதரர் பா.இரஞ்சித் அவர்களுக்கு நன்றி. சாதிய அடக்குமுறைகளும் - ஏற்றத்தாழ்வும் கழகம் மட்டுமல்ல, எந்த கட்சிக்குள் இருந்தாலும் அது அறவே ஒழிக்கப்பட வேண்டும்.
