Vijay apparently spent over 15 days weaving the saree, shawl. According to reports, Vijay had woven the special silk saree on normal handloom only and spent 2 kg of silk yarn to produce a saree weighing 60 grams at a cost of Rs. 10,000. He also wove a silk shawl, measuring 2 metres weighing 30 grams, that also fits in a small-size matchbox.
