In an interview with IANS, Vijay revealed, “He abused me a lot, albeit lovingly, in English and I can’t even repeat what he said to me. But yes, I had a good time with him.” Talking about the diet of the legendary boxer, he added, “His diet is somewhat similar to Ananya.”
Vijay also spilled some beans on Mike’s love for Indian food and its diverse culture. The actor shared, “He loves India a lot for its food, music and people. In fact, he used to ask us to bring Indian food for him which he enjoyed a lot. But yes, he is scared of the crowd here. Once he came here and stayed only in the hotel, as he was scared of the crowd that gathers at the airport or any other place.”
Ananya also spoke about bonding with Mike on the sets during the shoot. According to her, they both loved the food so they had a great time bonding on the set. The actress also revealed that one thing that she learnt from the legend was to never say no to anything in life.
