Check out his tweet here:

The director-turned-actor wrote, '#ManjummelBoys - Such a theatrical high experience film, a connect to the magic that cinema is. So nicely done, boys. When ‘manidhar unarndhu kolla’ comes up on the soundtrack, somehow watching Guna on opening day so many years ago and many times after that made sense to me.'
The movie, which is taking a reference from Kamal Haasan’s 1991 film 'Gunaa,' has also won the hearts of Tamil Nadu audience by using the evergreen track 'Kanmani Anbodu Kadhalan' in its climax. Gautham recollected the good old days of watching the film and enjoying the famous line, ‘manidhar unarndhu kolla,’ in theaters.
