He said, "The national crush. I call her by the pet-name Crushmika. We work with a lot of people but out of those, there are only a few people that we love. Rashmika is a co-star I absolutely love. She’s very sweet, very simple, very down to earth, very beautiful, very intelligent and above all a very very talented girl."
He further added, "She is already on top of her game but with the potential she has I feel like she can do much much more. In the coming years, with the right films and right directors, I believe that her potential is far far more. She is a wonderful artist. I wish you all the best Rashmika."
