The reason behind her running alone is a technical gaffe when the technical committee responsible for conducting the races failed to place a hurdle in her lane during the first heat of the 400m hurdles event yesterday. Harshita, who was placed in the eighth lane of heat 1 yesterday, realized that the fifth hurdle was missing from her lane and she went to the seventh lane to cross the hurdle and continued in it. She eventually finished with a timing of 1:01.03 to finish third in her heat and book her place for the final. “I was confused during my race. First, I was confused if I had made a mistake. I couldn’t find the fifth hurdle and eventually crossed over to the seventh lane and continued in it,” Harshita said after her race in the morning.

It was meant to give his fans one last big screen moment, and send him off properly.

However, SA Chandrasekhar, veteran Tamil filmmaker and Vijay’s father, who has been watching all of this unfold, remarked, “If the film was released without any hurdles, we would have been surprised,” he said. According to him, at the film’s audio launch in Kuala Lumpur on December 27, 2025, Vijay pulled the producer aside, in front of a packed stadium of over a lakh people, and told the producer directly that he was making this film at a time when his actor was walking into politics.
