Vijay Sethupathi praises Katrina Kaif 

During the press event of the film, as per ANI, Vijay Sethupathi praised Katrina and said, "She has been in the industry for so long, so I was a bit apprehensive as to how will be her attitude on the set because if the actor has an attitude, it is difficult to work with him or her. I met her first time in Sriram sir's office and as soon as she entered the office there was such a healthy conversation. She likes to discuss more and listen more. There was a better understanding between us on the set. So much I gained and learned from her."
