Mohandas, who co-wrote the film with Yash, praised the actor for his “mysterious and meticulous” process.
“When our two worlds of thought collided, the result is neither compromise nor chaos—it’s the transformation that happens when artistic vision meets the precision of commercial storytelling transcending borders, languages, and cultural confines…
“These words are not just spoken from a director about her actor and not just for his ardent admirers, but for anyone seeking to understand his unwavering passion for cinema and boundless spirit of creativity. Happy birthday to our Monster mind!” the director said in a statement.
