Not only Subbaraj but also the lead actors of the film, Raghava Lawrence and SJ Suryah, expressed their gratitude to Eastwood. Raghava Lawrence tweeted, "Thx a lot sirrrrrrrrr we are very happy that this movie reached U my self and @iam_SJSuryah, we r die-hard fans of U sir & our director @karthiksubbaraj sir is the maddest die-hard fan of U sir @RealTheClint."

Jigarthanda Double X, a sequel to Subbaraj’s 2014 film Jigarthanda, is a thought-provoking narrative questioning the rampant exploitation of natural resources by people in power. Featuring Nimisha Sajayan, Shine Tom Chacko, Naveen Chandra, and Ilavarasu in pivotal roles, the movie pays tributes not only to Eastwood but also to Satyajit Ray and Rajinikanth.
