"I am prepared to act as MGR if any one produces the film" said Sathyaraj to a group of newsmen recently. The actor recalled that his appearance as the DK leader E.V.Ramasamy Naicker, had fetched him a good name, and if he act as MGR in a film, depicting the life history of the late actor, he would set a imprint in the history of MGR. He said, he would not accept money for acting as MGR.

He said that Poo Mazhai song of the MGR's Ninathathai Mudippavan was remixed for the film Thangam in which he appeared in MGR's get up would bring him a good name. When a reporter asked him about his acting in commercial films, he said, he wanted to act in commercial films too. This he narrated with an illustration. Shivaji Ganesan acted in Vietnam Veedu in the old man get up, but his next film was Sumathy En Sundari. He acted in Thiruvarut Chelvar and the next film he acted in was Galatta Kalyanam. Sathyaraj wanted to follow the very same idea of the late actor who did commercials as well some historical and myths roles.
