Manasilayo? It's me, Varman; Vinayakan with facebook video about his role in Jailer

Vinayakan's portrayal of Varman in Jailer was widely praised. Vinayakan responded that he did not even dream that Varman's character would become such a hit. The response was through a video posted on Facebook.

'Manasilayo? It's me, Varman. I was in the forest when I was called to act in Jailor. The phone had no range. I was there for fifteen days. When I came back I saw a lot of missed calls. That's when I came to know about doing a film with Rajini sir. There was no need to think about it. It was Rajini sir's movie! They told me that I am the main villain. That was the first step towards this film.

Varman's character became such a hit. Every scene in the film is very important to me. Rompa Nantriyappa...Rajni sir...I will never forget. Many thanks to producer Kalanithi Maran sir. '- said Vinayakan.

Vinayakan also responded about acting with Rajinikanth. Acting with someone I could never manage to meet, and the confidence he gave me can't be forgotten. Rajini sir is the reason why the character of Varman has reached such heights.
