During the incident, producer and actor Vishnu Manchu said while talking about Akshay, “I did not have a personal relationship with Akshay Kumar. But I am thankful to meet him through this film. He is a wonderful person. I am a junior to him as an actor, and I have a lot to learn a lot from him.”

“All the people of the poster including Mohan Babu, Mohanlal and Prabhas, an unwavering spirit and sometimes not, I learned from them were. They all worked with love in the film and should express respect for my father.

Expressing his gratitude, he also revealed that Akshay rejected the role twice, “I am grateful to all of them including Mr. Akshay Kumar … It was not easy to get him on the board. He rejected the role twice ..”

For this, Akshay replied, “As he mentions, I turned down the part twice. Now let me explain that I did not know Vishnu ji. I know his father (Mohan Babu) for something. Call (and so I turned down the offer).”
