The Madha Gaja Raja actor went on to say that Ilaiyaraaja's music is in everyone's blood and no one has the right to say such things to him.
For the unversed, at the teaser launch event of Bad Girl, Mysskin issued an apology and addressed the issue. He said, "I begin by apologizing to lyricist Thamarai, though she had criticized me earlier. I extend my apology to director Lenin Bharathi, actor Aruldoss, Lakshmy Ramakrishnan, and my producer Thanu as well. Even to the friend who commented about throwing a shoe at me, I express regret."
Mysskin clarified that some of his earlier comments were misunderstood and explained that they were meant to be humorous. He opened up about his respect for cinema and pointed out that his films consistently carry social messages and love. He concluded by offering a sincere apology and asking for forgiveness for his earlier remarks.
