Talking about their first interaction, Katrina shared that her initial impression of Vijay left her pleasantly surprised. She said, “Our first meeting was all three of us — Vijay sir, Sriram sir and me — together in a room. I had recently seen a picture of Vijay sir where he had full white hair and a white beard. So when I entered the office, I didn’t know what to expect. When I saw him like this, I said, ‘Oh wow, that’s a really different look,’” Katrina recalled at the press conference.




She added that the connection felt natural from the very beginning, setting a positive tone for their collaboration.
