Allu Arjun described working with Fahadh Faasil as a special experience. He said, "It would have been a memorable moment to share the stage with Fahadh in Kerala." He praised Fahadh and said that 'Fafa' (Fahad Faasil) has done a great job in 'Pushpa 2'. Also, he wished Fahadh all the best and assured the audience that Fahadh's performance will make the Malayali audience feel proud.

Allu Arjun said, "This is the first time in my films that I have worked with such a great Malayalam actor.
