In a press statement, producer Ishari Ganesh described Siddhu as “a natural entertainer and a promising new filmmaker,” adding that he has always been passionate about introducing fresh talent to the industry. He expressed hope that Siddhu would follow in the footsteps of his successful protégés like Pradeep Ranganathan and RJ Balaji. Reflecting on his journey, Siddhu described it as one marked by “hustle, self-doubt, and countless late nights,” and said the opportunity feels like a dream come true. Speaking about Dayangaram, he shared, “It represents me—my humour, my youth, my struggles, and my life.”
