The Masaan actor had earlier heaped praise on Mandanna and said that he never saw her cranky or in a bad mood ever on the sets.

What sets Rashmika apart

"I have never seen her cranky. I have never seen Rashmika in an off mood. It is possible that she was in an off mood. But she never shows it. She never lets anyone in the professional environment around her show it or makes anyone feel what she is feeling personally. Which I feel is such a great professional trait," he said in an interview.

"Because she is smiling every day with the same energy, with the same positivity, with the same warmth. She is very professional. She always ticks all the boxes of professionalism," Vicky further added.
