In a recent interview with Galatta Plus, Sudha disclosed that initially, Kumar had expressed dissatisfaction. She went on to explain that with Akshay sir, she addressed him as 'sir' because it was their first meeting. Sudha mentioned that she is straightforward and unfiltered in her approach, which was somewhat similar to their interactions.
She recalled that during the first six days, Khiladi Kumar was not pleased, questioning why she was making him perform such tasks.
Sudha further mentioned that Kumar and the producer spoke to her, and she said, "You do whatever you like to do, and I will tell you when it isn't going right."
Kongara said, "I also had to let go because I had created the perfect Maara in my head, and I thought there could be nobody better than Suriya, and that's how it had to be played. I soon realised that I was suffocating this actor who had his own method, so I had to let go."
Sudha recounted how she resolved things with Akshay, recalling that after six days, she had shown him a cut of a particular scene. The next day, he approached her and stated that he had his own way of performing and a process, but it was his first time trying to understand her perspective and trying to accommodate it. She mentioned she responded positively, saying she appreciated his effort.
Kongara also mentioned that from that point on, they reconciled and had a great time shooting together. She expressed her enjoyment in working with him, noting that the Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor often remarked, "She doesn't have a filter."
