She went on to describe how Vijay contributes to an atmosphere of ease and openness during shoots. "He just holds space, and he will communicate with his co-performer—even if it's cracking jokes to make them laugh, and not in a way that is weird, but in a way that's friendly, to make someone feel a lot more at ease in their space. He's definitely one of those people. Vijay is full green flag energy," said Aastha.
Known for his intense roles, Vijay continues to receive recognition not just for his on-screen range but also for his professional integrity.
