Mani sir you are magic. Working with you on both the films in Tamil & Hindi was an absolute pleasure, a dream come true & extremely satisfying as an artist to have you direct me.”
In the caption, Esha also shared quirky snippets from both the film shoots with co-stars Ajay and Suriya. She wrote, “Both my co stars @ajaydevgn & @actorsuriya were just perfect & wonderful to work with. I remember this was the first time I worked with AJ (Ajay) and how mani sir & I would talk to each other in Tamil all the time while discussing the scenes which left Ajay wondering what on earth was being said. Suriya I remember as a man of few words but once the cameras rolled we both were totally on fire in character full of life.”
