Let’s aim for something better next time.”.
Nelson went on to reveal that he had a candid conversation with Vijay about whether the actor was upset with him because of the film’s mixed reception. Nelson was pleasantly surprised by Vijay’s heartfelt response. He recounted, “I asked him if he was angry with me. He seemed confused and asked, ‘Why would I be angry with you?’ I explained that it was because of the mixed reactions to the film. Vijay replied with an informal ‘Yov (Hey),’ and walked away. However, he returned and inquired, ‘So, our friendship means only as much as a film, is that it? Your question has hurt me.'”
