She also went on to praise the director of the film, saying, "Director #SureshRajakumari deserves a pat for the perfect starcast. Actually everything is just perfect.

Dinesh Karthik and Khushbu are the latest to praise 'Sirai'. It may be recalled that ace director Shankar and cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin too had praised the film.
Taking to his X timeline, Shankar, who is considered one of the leading directors in the Tamil and Telugu film industries, had said, "#Sirai- Such a good film. Really moved me to tears in many places. Loved all the characters and their performances which stayed with me after the film."
The director then went on to shower praise on each of the artistes, who had done outstanding work in the film. He wrote, "@iamVikramPrabhu gave a staunch performance throughout the film. #LKAkshayKumar and #AnishmaAnilkumar’s acting captured their character’s innocence and emotions beautifully."
Shankar then went on to congratulate the film's producer, saying, " My heartfelt wishes to the producer #SSLalitKumar for bringing us this gem. Director #SureshRajakumari imprisoned our hearts with his excellent debut. The message in the last scene was solid and very relevant. Tamil Cinema ending the year on a high-note."
It may be recalled that cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin too had praised the film last year.
Ashwin, while talking about the film, had said, "Really liked the film a lot. It was a very gripping film. In today's day and age, watching a film without touching one's phone is a big thing. I did not touch my phone while watching this film completely. Fabulous acting actually -- be it Vikram (Prabhu) and Akshay (Kumar) and all the cast members. The way they have built each character, it didn't look like a hero's film at all. It looked like everybody's movie. It was very nice. Refreshing for Tamil cinema!"
